All of the following are true of what typically occurs when first meeting someone EXCEPT: (Points : 1)
First impressions are based mostly on facial appearance.
We form our impressions of others within less than a second of meeting them.
We form conclusions about a person’s competence, attractiveness, and likability immediately upon meeting him or her.
While first impressions are very important, over time first impressions fade fairly easily when we get to know someone better
I'll be glad to check your answer.
To answer this question, we need to evaluate each statement and determine whether it is true or false. Let's go through each statement one by one:
1) First impressions are based mostly on facial appearance: This statement is generally true. When we first meet someone, studies show that we tend to rely heavily on facial appearance to form our initial impressions.
2) We form our impressions of others within less than a second of meeting them: This statement is also true. Research suggests that it takes less than a second for us to form initial impressions of others based on limited information such as facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice.
3) We form conclusions about a person's competence, attractiveness, and likability immediately upon meeting him or her: This statement is true as well. Psychological studies have found that people tend to make broad judgments about a person's competence, attractiveness, and likability within seconds of meeting them.
4) While first impressions are very important, over time first impressions fade fairly easily when we get to know someone better: This statement is false. Contrary to popular belief, first impressions are quite powerful and tend to persist even after getting to know someone better. Research has shown that it takes a significant amount of time and effort to change a first impression once it has been formed.
Therefore, the answer to the question is "While first impressions are very important, over time first impressions fade fairly easily when we get to know someone better." This statement is not true of what typically occurs when first meeting someone.
