Author Sonya Parker said, “Almost everyone will make a good first impression, but only a few will make a good lasting impression.” If that website being viewed was your LinkedIn profile, do you think they’d stay or go? Additionally, the scroller will only take 2.5 seconds to decide if they will stay on the page or click off. According to a study by Missouri University of Science, it takes a viewer less than 2 tenths of a second to make a first impression when scrolling a website. So what do the studies say about virtual first impressions? Well, it’s not much better. Often the first impression made in the virtual space will determine if an in-person (or on Zoom) meeting ever even takes place. Most people will Google or scroll through LinkedIn before ever meeting potential employees or service providers in person. And furthermore, longer exposure does little to change that first impression.īut, in today’s world, first impressions aren’t always made in person. Studies out of Princeton University by psychologists Janine Willis and Alexander Todorov have shown that it only takes a tenth of a second (yes, you saw that correctly 1/10 of a second!) for someone to form an impression of a stranger.

Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. From the point of view of feeling, the actor's craft is the type. From the point of view of form, the type of all the arts is the art of the musician. Vice and virtue are to the artist materials for an art. Thought and language are to the artist instruments of an art. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style. The moral life of man forms part of the subject-matter of the artist, but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium. The nineteenth century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.
