TED-Ed: Should you trust your first impression? - Peter Mende-Siedlecki

The video explores how we form and update impressions of others based on their behaviors. Initial impressions are often formed quickly and can be lasting, but they can change with new information. Negative behaviors tend to have a stronger impact on our impressions than positive ones, due to their rarity and diagnostic value. However, when assessing abilities, positive information is weighted more heavily. Brain activity during impression updating involves regions associated with social cognition and attention. The video concludes that while negative behaviors are impactful, it's because positive behaviors are more common.
