Question

Using theories and concepts (such as salience, schemata, punctuation, among others) introduced in the readings for this module as well as in the previous module (sender, receiver, message, channel, noise, among others) what is the role that perception has on first impressions

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not provide attachments to the modules, we can say the following.

The role that perception has on first impressions is that it is the first image people are going to get when they meet you. Experts in public image affirm that there is just one opportunity to make a good first impression, so people should pay attention to that first impression and project the best image they can.

How to do it? Well, paying attention to important things such as the way we shake hands, the way we introduce ourselves, our attire, the self-trust we transmit, or politeness, and how we make feel others in our presence.
