The Two-Second Judgment

Before making important decisions, we have been taught to stop carefully and consider all the options / factors involved. But Blink's Malcolm Gladwell discovered that under complicated circumstances, the first 2 seconds of judgment, or blinking, is often more accurate than long and difficult analysis judgment. . Gladwell carefully investigated the failure of the 2-second decision, but the most interesting scenario is where to immediately recognize success. This is inconsistent with the reason that the two-second decision is more accurate than careful analysis, but in many cases this is the case.

Malcolm Gladwell's bestseller, writer and journalist, "Blink: Power of thinking without thinking" is investigating the value of quick judgment. How can you earn great profits in the first 2 seconds of seeing something? He studied how we resort to our "adaptive unconscious" to make methods and decisions to study "slices" of behavior that can lead us. "That is just a lunch", unlike a quick dating, the whole lunch proved to be a deeper conversation. Later, participants will consider the remaining experience of the day before agreeing to a future lunch. Especially when choosing a future partner it makes sense that there is enough time to evaluate your experience and feelings.

Recent psychology research shows what we can do. Even if we only have a chance to see a person who is also known as a thin slice for a few seconds, our personality judgment can be very reliable. We make quick decisions about personality based on facial expression, posture, clothing, and charm, but the accuracy of the first impression is usually very accurate. Naumann et al. (2009) Participants in the study carried out a study in contact with full-posed photographs in two situations - one was that the subject had a neutral posture and facial expression (standardized state). It is voluntary. (Spontaneous state)

In order to verify these hypotheses, the participants made two sets of personality judgments for Susan Bower. The first judgment took place within 1 hour or within 1 month since the first paragraph was submitted. This decision includes Susan Bower's assessment of Susan Bauer and Susan Bauer's assessment of the qualitative assessment of 14 (participant honesty, maturity, intelligence, etc.). After completing his initial personality judgment, the participants finished the second personality judgment explaining Susan Bauer.
