DescriptionWelcome to the Psychology Behind First Impressions!
We naturally form an impression when we a person for the first time. Have you ever been "right" about a person from the moment you meet them? Or maybe you've made an incorrect first impression about someone? First impressions often have interpersonal consequences. They might determine if you are offered a job or go on a second date with someone. It's important to know if and when first impressions are accurate.
In this course, you will learn about the psychology behind first impressions. We will first discuss how first impressions are studied in psychology and learn about the Big Five theory of personality. Then, we will discuss what it means to be accurate, learn about a psychological theory which predicts under what conditions first impressions have the best shot to be accurate, and apply what we learn through hands-on activities and reflection questions.
I'm a social/personality psychologist. This means I look at how the people around us and our personality traits influence our thoughts, feelings, and behavior. I was so fascinated with the accurate of first impressions, I wrote a master's thesis and dissertation on the topic. I'm excited to share my knowledge of this area with you!
