Honestly, if it was raining and the guy offered me an umbrella, I'd take it. Some people get really competitive and passionate about their team, and their actions can change based on that, but they can still be 'good' people. It's more common for people to be jerks at sports events than for someone to offer an umbrella anyway, so maybe that's what's skewing my perspective.

First impression comes to us just by a random action which cannot portray the complete personality of a person. Therefore, I think we just use it as a factor to determine one's characteristic. It often takes me at least 1 month to have basic understanding about a person.

WanderingStar

8y↑19

+Tuệ Liên Nguyễn Yes, I can asure you that it took me some time to get used to the people around me when I started working with new people. In the beginning, because you don't know each other, you kinda dance around each other to not say something stupid. But after a while, when you know each others names and like personalities, you can lift the relationship to a new level. So then you know what to say to which person, what to not say, how to interterpret if what he says is meant seriously or not and so on. And when you're comfortable with the other person, you can start talking to them about many things without letting it sound awkward or forced.

And based on the first impression, I myself would not like if someone would judge me without maybe even hearing me speak, just on the way I look or my facial expression . I do that too, I can't help it, but what I can do is to say: Okay, this guy might seem weird, but since I haven't talked to him yet, I stay open minded and try to have an at least neutral opinion toward him and be nice to that new colleague or person. After some time passed, I see if he's a solid worker and when we have talked, I know at least if he's an okay person, see how moral he is and if we both like eatch other.

I feel it can only take a few hours of continual interaction and or observation, people deviate in different environments around different people. I remember how my mom as a kid would be really ghetto around my sister n i but when on the phone with a billing company she was sweet as pie. I striggled with this issue as a child and subconsciously determined it to be a fraud and mask, i see in my own character that i dont deviate my behavior around anyone, as my general behavior is set to be appropriate at all times. This is not always true but if you met me youd see the consistency of my attitude and behavior to be very similiar and seemingly unchanging

I was really hoping we'd get into how meeting people in different moods (having a good day vs a bad day) could also effect how we perceive other people (also having good/bad days) in that first encounter.

Last year at school I got really dizzy and I asked if someone could walk with me to the door before my mom could pick me up and a girl I barely knew got up immediately and walked with me and made sure I was okay. Now I have a super duper good impression of her just because of that one thing.

Euleanne Espinal

Considering people tend to judge other based on their own perception of right and wrong I think that what you choose (to go for the 1st impression or re evaluate your opinion) is based on how rigid you are with your perception of self. If I was very strong in my opinion of what constitutes a good behavior or bad behavior and I met someone who portrayed a behavior I find unforgivable, I would keep with my 1st impression (because that’s a solid no no for me) but if I am someone that understands different perceptions, I’d be more likely to change the idea of my 1st impression because I would be more willing to write off the original impression as false or lacking in information

One of the managers at work is not well liked by other coworkers but I made sure to give a good first impression and introduced myself politely and told this manager how long I worked at this store and my skills in each department. It's been months and she still treats me with respect and is polite when we pass by each other. I always make sure to leave a good first impression especially meeting a new manager because it will determine how well the relationship between the two of you will be!

Just learnt “impression” last semester! It is often formed fast with high accuracy of predicting behaviors. Impression has 4 determined factors: Valence, morality, warmth and competence. The new model of forming an impression suggests that knowing if a person morally good or not is more important than other factors, which is able to predict his/her overall attitudes. Some extra informationXD

People aren’t always behaving as the best versions of themselves. Sometimes, you can be down and you don’t behave the way you’d like to. But when others judge you because of it, it sucks. I hate people who lack empathy and are narrow-minded when they judge others based on limited understanding and assumptions.

I've been fooled by first impressions too many times. People have many sides so I think it's safer to observe them in many situations before making my own opinions about their characters.

The last time i changed my impression about someone, what they did was perfectly ordinary, but entirely unexpected. I think it's not the rarity, it's more like we are machine-learning machines who try to predict the future and if our predictions are wrong (the reality manages to surprise us), then we update our models. The rare action theory fits within this framework.

For me, it's totally opposite. I try to stay positive about a person at first sight. I put effort to build a friendly relationship with them but when I see them being rude & dishonest with me repeatedly, I totally cut off my interactions with them & try to stay away from them. I really can't stand liars

Better Training

10y↑4

I have a similar outlook: I always felt that I am looking for :
1: What behaviors a person has made "easily accessible" to themselves: parameters.
2. Taking a behavior that is generally negative and using it to make your first impression upon others is Anti-social by definition. A person who is considering interacting with a new person again in the future will adopt a neutral or pro-social stance.

LunaLuckyLight

8y↑1

I think that ultimately, the concept never ends up being this simple. The obvious shortcoming of first impressions is that they have a low confidence. They also assume that qualities we perceive as negative correlate to core moral deficiencies. History tells us time and time against that this is too often not the case. When it is safe to do so, challenging what we perceive to be negative qualities can better inform our beliefs. In this example, taking the umbrella is the correct choice because it can better inform you that people who yell at sporting events might not necessarily translate to being a cruel person. This is the process by which we can overcome our own ignorance, and denying this makes us needlessly judgemental and stubborn.

I tend to disagree with this. Sure society has some standards but it's up to you if you want to follow them or not and sometimes you see those standards so often, you follow them without realizing. But those standards are there even at the second thought. So i'd just say that society is affecting both first and second impression. How much is up to you.

There’s first impressions based of our bias (wrong) and first impressions based of our intuition (right). If your intuition is telling you someone is bad, listen to it. However, if you’re just going off of how they look or other meaningless factors, give them a chance.

The_Otter

2y↑6

I think people's behaviours can be so volatile that you shouldn't trust your first impression too much. For example, if you meet someone once and they're rude to you, you should give them the benefit of the doubt because maybe they're having a bad day and they're not normally like that. On the other hand, if you meet someone once and they're very generous or helpful, they might just be having a good day and are normally more indifferent.

Bring me that Coffee

I think what really counts here is our own understanding and us being humble. We should KNOW that ppl sometimes behave "bad" without meaning to. Every each of us did something bad or said something wrong at one point of our life. But one mistake does not make out the person. Some people I disliked at first turned out to be very good friends to me. I learned my lesson. I began reminding myself: 1) They might have had a bad day. 2) Maybe they don't know that that behaviour was inappropriate. 3) I don't know the complete background of Person B.
Aaaand so on.

Humble people do not think they know everything.

I think it depends on the situation. I think the video meant that you should follow what you feel because your brain probably weighs the actions against each other just fine without needing to think about it much since it evolved this way.

Tamara Jay

I honestly believe you should always make up your own mind about everything. To do that efficiently you would have to try something more than once and would have to have more than one encounter with a person to produce a valid opinion about them. BUT most people judge things right away in my opinion and stick to that opinion, with no room to alter or change that view.

Ryan Hartwell

11y

I guess it depends on how often you spend with the person. First impressions are important, and that person starts to act friendly all of a sudden after being a jerk previously, there would be a divide with the compatibility of that person. but if that person has a chance to redeem him/herself in the near future, there might be a chance to get to know them better. I guess it can go both ways.

Asia Attia

Yes ,we should really trust our first impression,and our instinct , sometimes our instinct predict about something wrong, and I know how keep going with someone or something until that something wrong happens

In short:
The more "out of the ordinary" for you that something is, depending on how good or bad it is to YOU, then it will MORE LIKELY be more impactful than the other traits/observations that you are used to.

This relates to research by the Nobel prize winning economist Daniel Kahnemann. He presented the idea of Loss Aversion where people put greater weight(2.0x) on losses than gains. These often are based on our other cognitive biases such as anchoring. Our impressions create such a lasting effect, its important to deconstruct how we see those in our world.

Most of the time, as I get to know that person over time by seeing their actions, proves me that my first impression about them was right. But in this case, even if it feels awkward, I would just be thankful if that person offered to share his umbrella with me.

I wasn't aware this was how first impressions worked. All my life, a simple brief conversation could tell me most about that person's character, and it would usually be accurate. I think, out of the people I've met and regularly communicated with, only about five people I misjudged. Maybe it's because I've run into a lot of bad people when I was younger, and they all had a curtain characteristic my brain picked up on subconsciously, so I don't really think of a first impression, I go with my gut and it's almost always right.

Διονύσης Τσουκαλάς

Well my first impression (which isn't based on the other person's actions but how they feel to me) is what i call gut instinct. If i do not like someone that's it and it takes time to change my mind but i am always giving chances. However each time i question myself and think that i am unfair and give this person the chance guess what...The person shows me i was right with my initial judgement. So I'd rather stick with my gut instinct from now on.

I mean in "normal" social interactions. As I watched I thought, "At a sporting event often a person'll be acting less inhibited then they'd be in other circumstances. Take it as it is. Where as the umberilla loaning is a kindness a lot of people wouldn't have extended. Take it as valuable."

I usually ignore my first few impressions, i think people's personality and thoughts are too vast to judge it all in a few moments. I think everyone has a capability to be both a 'good' and 'bad' person

Actually, I think the moral of the story is : Don't judge people a specific action. Instead, judge them on casual actions/decisions that reveal their fundamental values!

Another way to look at this is that when we meet someone for the first time, it is at one point in time and we have no way of knowing how they behaved before that moment. We may have met them at a time when they behaved in a way that they would not normally behave.

Never judge a book by its cover. First impressions are important to some people. Which means some people have developed a rehearsed act that quotes what they want others to hear. This helps some (honest)people make it thru anxieties from new settings. While others use it as a way to maintain the facade of lies they enjoy

Colonel Breadsticks

Just like when trying new foods, give it three tries. Because who knows how you’ll think of it be on the third one. If you expect something good or bad, it’ll cloud you’re real opinion, so give yourself more tries to get the truth on how you feel. Only then can you make a full opinion because you now know the full story.

Something my mother always used to say to me, but only about food, not people. Just a connection.

Most of my family see me as an illiterate, because they only asked me about important tópics when I was nine years old and at the age of fifteen I continued giving the same answers. That is a real problem because I couldnt study as not illiterate at university.

It takes effort to be a good person and it also does take effort to behave badly. What every person is capable of comes up in different situations. I think in the example given, it was mostly unreliability and confusion and unpredictability of the character that turned the observer off. Not calling the person bad, but just not trustworthy. Like "you don't get to be so nice that seems pretentious and hope to be seen as good, because I can't trust what you'd do next considering what I have seen you are capable of."

Greypike

Good behavior stands with me longer, because i almost always assumes everyone is cold, mean or generally unpleasant. So when that person is revealed to be nice, that changes my entire perspective. I believe in redemption.

Man I'd really be swayed by the umbrella. Lots of people get exited at a football game and behave obnoxiously, but very few people would offer a near stranger their umbrella!

I think though, because of my past expericnes I tend to weight positive or kind actions very heavily and will forgive negative actions more easily, to a point

What I'm trying to say is that there are far more factors that go into play when determining someone's character, and (short term) order of events shouldn't matter if you're trying to judge someone rationally. In this example there are a ton of reasons as to why the man offered the umbrella, rendering the chronology irrelevant, it seems to me

Graham Palmer

At 4:38 my evaluation was the complete opposite. I think very few people would offer a stranger an umbrella and the fact that the person who does is the football fan suggests a thoughtful person At a social event the football fan was letting off steam supporting his team plus alcohol was probably in the spilled drink so this was non-typical behaviour. Lots of nice people become jerks were teams and drink is involved. The football fan might be a great person most of the week but best avoided on match days, if you want a quiet life.

Samarpreet Singh

Actually I think it depends on one's own personality too . If the person is optimistic he will forgive his past behaviour but if he is a pessimist then he will not.

with the umbrella situation, I always give a new person three chances to do a nice thing or a bad one, and whichever one wins out of those three, that's how ill remember the person.

I thought it meant gut instinct but this is a pretty good video too

diamondisgood4u

1:44 just to quickly say another view, I think that bad actions have more absolute value when judging someone's character because I do truly think that highly immoral actions are more impactful and hurtful to many more people than highly moral actions of the same caliber. maybe there are some extreme exceptions like in all of philosophy, maybe killing someone who has no connections to everyone to somehow improve a lot of others lives is "worth" it, but I do think there's other reasons to value individual bad impressions over good ones.

I changed my mind regarding someone after thoroughly thinking about why i disliked him in first place. . The reasons for having a first "bad" impression were quite not strong and so i changed my mind.. he was not a bad guy, it was only that i was taking too much of an offense over pretty non-issues.

but i feel like there is more bad than good in the world.

My friend thought someone was good at a little kids day camp because he was friendly with all the kids. Then at a teenager's sleep-away camp, he changed his mind because the same guy happened to be there, and he was humping the furniture and poring water in people's beds.

So basically:
-You will not trust a person you thought off badly, however if he does something good it will have higher impact because hes usually bad, the opposite goes for the good side (if he makes a bad thing it will have more impact then when a bad person does a bad thing).
-If a good person wants to be thought of as one he must make even better actions that people dont usually make. (donating to charity, helping someone even more then you should).

It makes sense :D!
Although I didnt get the answer to the question your title mentioned I will get my own (which TED-Ed probably aims for),
that is my conclusion is that I will not trust my first impressions, because 1 outcome shouldnt affect all the other outcomes, that is if someone makes a bad impression, I shouldnt judge him based on his first impression, I will judge him based on his following ones, the ones to come that is!

WanderingStar

+WiseDude50 I agree! Judge a person on a few impressions, of course you can't forget the first impression but since everybody has a bad day and their flaws, do unto others as you want them to do onto you (sorry for bad English).

I see it as this. Think of work. If you screw up once, your boss or colleagues get angry. Even though you did everything right 99 times before. So that one mistake is weighing heavier than all the 99 good work days before. Or if a club that has lost 8 games wins a game, it's something special, if a club wins every game, they expect it and it's as almost nobody notices it. I think "special" and the element of "surprise" are key words here. And all movie and tv show watchers know how much they love the element of a suprising twist, when it turns out that the nice neighbour actually is the murderer.

This is why there are racial or ethnic biases and this is how they can lead to being prejudice. Sometimes, people who are prejudice do not have inherent hatred of specific groups of people, rather they learned from exposure to not trust or like certain groups. Our brains naturally use inductive reasoning- making inferences based on specific observations, to assess social interactions. Racial or cultural conflicts could potentially can be minimized by obtaining a more wide range of experiences (larger data set) to help our brains track and update the stats it's doing. Or, with reinforcing negative data, prejudices could be confirmed leading to more conflict.

Cloudclaws AJ I can relate with you because in school people assume me being rude and annoying even though I am not they just saying that for being dishonest person. in reality I somewhat shy and awkard person it really frustrating is that people tend to judge me but didn't try to understand me in personal level.

If we all have telepathy to understand people thoughts and emotion then we shouldn't have these problems from the beginning.

@redd 4566 This misunderstanding happens so often that im still thinking of building a machine or something that kinda seems like telepathy but science or something. Like it allows us to

Its a fun game for your brain, keeping it from running to conclusions. Always, Always, Always keep adding on to what you think you know, so you can get closer and closer to what you think you know you know, that you may know.

Alan Ford

When I first meet someone I don't really care enough to judge them. I've never instantly made a judgement about someone's personality as soon as I meet them. Nor do I really acknowledge them unless need be. If someone is rude to me I don't really care, I don't say anything and haven't given them a reason to be rude. I'm a simple person, just be nice , don't touch my things and we are good; I don't care about you or judge you.

What I believe is that you must appreciate some one 's good deed instead remembering that bad which was caused in past.what if some is nice with you in the first time but horrible on the second🤔.so do appreciate and do forgive instead of judging and having a bad day.

Fildza Fadzli

if your first impression always be introverted and shy, people would always expect us to be weaker/non dominant when it comes to casual conversation.. but if the introverted guy suddenly get confident to be more dominant in a group casual talk, people around would feel that he/she is being rude/weird/trying too much,

Nilufer Abdul

That’s why we shouldn’t let these first impressions hold such importance for defining the character of a person. All things are about giving priority to them. Thousands of thoughts pass through our minds within a day. Most of them are people’s behavior, their reactions. Just be more attentive, avoid such unjustified speculations.

The problem with this video is that someone offering to share an umbrella with you is really unusual, while being overly excited at a game, not paying attentions to others, and coming off as obnoxious is a lot more common.

I mean, your premise does seem to hold--I did update my opinion of the guy based on his unusual action with the umbrella. Because that is more uncommon, I view the aberration to be the actions at the football game.

I mean, I could see umbrella sharing being more common in a place where it rains a lot, but I'd still say obnoxious football fans are extremely common. There's one in every group.

Raven Padaong

Am I the only one who needs to watch Ted videos twice or more to just fully understand it?

Robert ma

Something was spoken on here that they didn't pursue as much as they could have. People's behavior can be very situational. Sporting events bring out competiveness, in the fans, not just the players, and that can often, and often does turn sour. The same people can be VERY diffrenent in different situations. I knew someone who was really bad at work, but outside of work, he was very generous, etc. It was the pressure of the work environment he had trouble handling. Once he got outside of that, though, he was fine.

Actually that is called rarity The first impression is going to be great, than if all people share the umbrella with you it is quite normal for you and you have the chance to choose! A lot of people shared their umbrellas with me, but after I asked them ;)

This is about one time I've changed my mind about a man. He is one of the coaches in my taekwondo class, at the first times we met, he acted pretty rude and call me and some girls by the unacceptable way, and I don't think I had a good impression for him. But one day, that was a day that I feel so depressed ( maybe because of my mental illness ), wasn't interested in anything, or probably I was lonely, suppose that no one care and understand me. You know what, his behaviour was good and gentle out of the blue, and he did call me more politely, his attitude at that day made me feel better. Then yea, I've changed my thoughts about him, he also have some good aspect, and isn't bad that much :>

Himself

Okay, but I was hoping he'd say something about those times when you get a "first impression" of somebody based on subliminal or subconscious clues that you can't even identify. Sometimes someone just reminds you of someone you didn't like or seems like a decent sort even though they haven't actually done anything either way.

I trust my first impressions 50%, i tend to irritate people and get their bad side out after that just to know them cause that's who they really are then start showing my good one if they worth it in doing so many people hate me and don't have many friends in my life but i have the real ones and that's more than enough, anyone can be nice and good but not everyone mean it .

So what makes a lasting impression is whether an action was unexpected as opposed to something you would expect anyone to do? Makes sense. It's different and not what's the norm

Yo Yo

Tbh I haven't come across many strangers who offer an umbrella. I would probably reconsider my opinion of him because I'd see that as a nice act if he remembered me from the game and so offered his umbrella when I needed it. Plus lots of people get passionate at games

Papoy Minions

I used to hate a person (he bullied me, fyi)
But years later, I feel kinda okay with him
Idk why, maybe because he finally stopped annoying me
I still remember his bad manners to me though, I'm still mad. But even when he still annoys me sometimes, it feel like it doesn't matter anymore
Maybe when a person who did bad things to you, does bad things less frequent, you gradually letting it go
Or maybe it is because you're totally done with him and no longer feel any anger toward him XD

Evan Kaz

I agree with some things:-Immoral behaviour is more revealing of a person's true character-Comparative rarity is important....
However, I disagree with the idea that there is a singular 'first' impression that shapes your views on someone. Or rather, I would hope that most people don't do that, because it's a very simplistic low level way of human interaction. But unfortunately I guess most people do that. I think a better view would be to take a 'first' impression in varying contexts (when a person benefits from a situation, when a person is indifferent, when a person needs something, when they get rewarded, when they don't etc..) and then pool those together to formulate your thoughts on someone's character.
