Your conscious thoughts take much longer to come to that conclusion. A psychologist stated, "Everyone in that room had not one mind but two, and all while their conscious mind was blocked, their unconscious was scanning the room, sifting through possibilities.."

Question: So if these features give our brain an image of a person, how do we change the way we prospect these people without getting their features in our way?]]> 2018-03-13 17:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241534111 Sajan Parikh https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241534500 2018-03-13 17:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241534500 Luis Da Silva https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241534557 2018-03-13 17:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241534557 Hayden Gardner hayden_gardner https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241534607 i agree that there is a certain level of of snap judgement and its accuracy when guessing basic surface characteristics, but one can not always tell a person by a snap judgement and the deeper parts of ones personality can only be uncovered through knowing the person.

But we also have to acknowledge and understand those circumstances when rapid cognition leads us astray.” This relates to the Warren Harding problem. It was a wrong decision about a person based on limited evidence about him as a person. ]]> 2018-03-13 17:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241534683 Katie Cooper https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241534718 2018-03-13 17:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241534718 Luis Da Silva https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241535198 Too add on to what Cayden said in the article Bad Intuition: Too-thin Slicing by Roger Dooley he states "A hotelier who is exceptionally skilled at spotting tiny fashion details, like a hermes tie, to identify wealthy guest deserving of special attention". This was not always true though because the wealthy were actually the people who came more frequently and the  types of people who deserved more attention.

When Andrew was talking about the war games and intuition, Malcolm Gladwell in Blink started to talk about basketball and how it was full of spontaneous decisions and he explains this on page 114 by stating "Everyone first engages in hours of highly repetitive and structured practice", leading to the fact that spontaneous decisions are not random.]]> 2018-03-13 17:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241535198 Ella Bower https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241535204 In chapter 3 Gladwell talked about thin slicing and how the presidential election shows the bad side of thin slicing as he said on page 36 "this is the dark side of rapid cognition."]]> 2018-03-13 17:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241535204 Sade Major https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241535213 To answer Daria's question, I would have to say that a person can judge a person wrong by using thin slicing. Only talking to someone for 30 seconds to a minute cannot allow you to make an accurate decision on someone because you do not see what is beneath the surface. ]]> 2018-03-13 17:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241535213 Deirdre Weissman https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241535553 In Part 2 of Chapter 2, the author starts talking about speed dating.

For example, in the text on page 72, Daugherty believed that Harding would be a good president because of his distinguished and "roman" looks. However, this was proven to be wrong. Even though Harding had the looks and the voice, the lacked the knowledge and responsibility needed to be president. Harding is described as "not a particularly intelligent man" that enjoyed drinking, poker, and chasing after women. However, from first glance, he may have seemed to be the opposite because of his looks.]]> 2018-03-13 17:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241536170 Gabriel Santos-Martins https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241536552 Relating to what Daria said, I think that thin-slicing isn't always the most reliable way to make a judgement. For example a lot of times people will say that the first time they saw you they thought something, but were proven wrong.

In the text on page 97, Gladwell says, "“Our first impressions are generated by our experiences and our environment, which means that we can change our first impressions - we can alter the way we thin slice - by changing the experiences that comprise those impressions.” These first impressions made by others around us are based on what we know and from our experiences, yes we can alter them, but first impressions leave a mark on us and are usually what we tend to rely on and believe about that person.]]> 2018-03-13 17:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241537311 Ben Keeble https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241537322 Chapter 2 of Blink says that most people that feel they love someone while speed dating can't explain why exactly they love them. On page 52 of Blink, the author states that "we need to respect the fact that it is possible to know and accept that - sometimes - we're better off that way." Do you guys think that it is real love if they either don't know or can't explain why they love someone?]]> 2018-03-13 17:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241537322 Deirdre Weissman https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241537401 How do you view someone based on a first impression?]]> 2018-03-13 17:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241537401 Lulu Sui https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241537736 Second part of notes]]> 2018-03-13 17:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241537736 Sade Major https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241538119 Adding onto the conversation, on page 50 Gladwell states, "snap judgments are first of all, enormously: they rely on the thinnest slices of experience. But they are also unconscious." By saying that these judgments are also unconscious i believe that Gladwell is trying to say that even if someone give you a good impression in the first thirty seconds it is for you to decide whether you think the person is actually good or bad based on what you see and hear.]]> 2018-03-13 17:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241538119 Sajan Parikh https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241538178 First impressions are not everything because on page 63 of blink it talks about "I loved the accent.

They looked at his appearance and voted him because he was incredibly handsome. In the text, it says "There are facts about people's appearance, their size, sex, or color, that can trigger a very similar set of powerful associations."]]> 2018-03-13 17:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241538726 Kyle Zemel https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241538795 On page 87, "The lack of women or minorities among the top executive ranks at least has a plausible explanation." People will often thin slice with uncommon situations that they are not used to. So If someone grew up in a town where not a lot of women were succeeding then they would not trust them to own their business. That is a very common way that we stereotype and can often stereotype in a bad way. Women have the same capabilities as men but stereotyping brings them less success in some situations.]]> 2018-03-13 17:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241538795 Ella Bower https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241538942 Adding to Dubes statement about how we view other people do you think we base people on looks even if we know their personalities? ]]> 2018-03-13 17:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241538942 Andrew Cargill https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241538945 2018-03-13 17:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241538945 Izzy Nolton https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241539390 Would you rather be aware of your unconscious thoughts or keep them behind the locked door? It could be useful to know how your brain works and to be able to come to decisions faster, but at the same time it can also leave people very confused. In chapter 2 it states, "This is the price we pay for the many benefits of the locked door. When we ask people to explain their thinking... we need to be careful in how we interpret their answer" (58).]]> 2018-03-13 17:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241539390 Rishabh rishabhrege https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241539430 Responding to Dube: We can't control our subconscious very well as shown by the man who took the IAT everyday in Blink, but what I found interesting is that you can actually train your rapid cognition. Elizabeth Kadetsky of Experience Life said," Check your prejudices, avoid overconfidence, avoid information overload, and notice anomalies to make the most of your thin-slicing and rapid cognition abilities."]]> 2018-03-13 17:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241539430 Emily Miller enm14007 https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241539548 Adding on to what Sophia said, we as people believe from what we are taught and told. Some people think of this concept as not really having free will, that it is all an allusion, considering we are taught what the people are us want us to know. If you think of life like this, it seems as though we really don't have much free choice. In the text, on page 58, Gladwell says, “They suggest that what we think of as free will is largely an illusion: much of the time, we are simply operating on automatic pilot, and the way we think and act - and how well  we think and act on the spur of the moment - are a lot more susceptible to outside influencers than we realize.” This quote from the book suggests how we are as if we are on automatic pilot, we aren't really thinking and choosing what we want to do or say, we are just acting automatically, like machines. What do you guys think of this concept?]]> 2018-03-13 17:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241539548 Aiden Hammond jchsaiden https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241539636 Adding onto Katie, who said people make "quick judgement" in certain situations, and what Cayden said about having more knowledge would influence decisions, Paul van Riper was able to make snap decisions in a simulated war because of his experience in war. He acted "strict" (page 101 of the book blink) and "fair". "He was a student of war." He knew what to do. "Somebody who doesn't sit behind a desk but leads the troops from the front." He got this experience in the 1980s, often taking part in "training exercises, and, according to military", ... "systemic decisions".

Like if you say things in a mean tone it gives off a bad impression. You might not mean to do it but you have to be careful about what you say and how you say it or you will get thin sliced and not liked by some people. Your words can also hurt someone extremely like if you say a "trigger" word it will set some people off in a bad mood.

The dark side of thin slicing is also very present. For example, on pages 77-81 of the text, it explains how thin slicing leads to prejudice. An example of this is the IAT test. When faced with a group of words, most people grouped terms such as entrepreneur with make and laundry with females. This could be because people often group females with family, mother, and housewife and see men as the "breadwinners" of the family. My question is...does the good of thin slicing out weight the bad?

Our choices made while in the middle of the action are made in the blink of an eye, and we may not even notice we are doing it. In the article, The Adaptive Unconscious: Commentary on Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink" states “Due to a general lack of awareness and understanding of the unconscious processes guiding our behavior, it is often difficult or even impossible for us to articulate how or why we behave.” This is true about our adaptive unconscious in sports, and the way we make snap choices without even knowing or realizing we are doing this.

When he says that when you play sports some of it is unconscious and I believe that is true. What people do not realize about sports is that it is more mental than physical.

Our first impressions are normally completely subconscious and done through "algorithms" we have been introduced to as we have grown (stereotypes). You can't be better at first impressions because everyone has their own opinions, but there are people who are more accurate but have trained to this point. Like the scientist in Blink chapter 1 who analyzed a couple and concluded if they would get divorced, even at a coffee shop, once people get the practice and work with this aspect of our brains it becomes stronger for them.

These stereotypes were created in the 1900's and later by men who were very selfish and wanted to be dominant. These thoughts were passed down by generation until it became apart of society.

However there was something that make him doesn’t known how he was able to read a serve of other opponent. I think snap judgements in sport can show the subconscious of each player’s mind when they try to respond to the event. According to the book it stated that, “...Vic Braden should be really good at reading a serve in the blink of an eye” “he simply cannot figure out how he know” page 45.

Therefore, I disagree with Emily because, though subconsciously, we are giving caucasians a higher importance out of all the races. It is hard to grasp this because avoiding racism is a common effort by people to make our world a better place, but to finally end such prejudice would take a LONG time if possible at all. Another topic to relate to this is, even if we end the feeling of bad with say african americans, could it be the appearance of these people (e.g. color of skin) that continues this bias or would it be ended once and for all? And to answer Aidan: Yes, subconsciously caucasians are thought to be better than others.

Being primed means having something affect your behavior. For example, Blink talks about a test in which participants read words such as worried, old, gray, Florida, bingo, and wrinkle.

In page 58 of the book, Blink, the experiment results show that, "...what we think of as free will is largely an illusion: much of the time, we are simply operating on automatic pilot, and the way we think and act- and how well we think and act on the spur of the moment - are a lot more susceptible to outside influences than we realize." (Gladwell 58). Our society and outside influences may change or affect our unconsciousness which leads our thoughts. This would mean that we aren't racist by nature, but our outside experiences influence our thoughts a lot.]]> 2018-03-13 18:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241557594 Arjun Rambhiya https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241558257 In the text, "many of our actions ]]> 2018-03-13 18:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241558257 Sajan Parikh https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241558953 Answering Ella's question, yes I do think appearance does play a role on how someone reacts to someone else.

History can bring us a perfect example of this. In the presidential debate of Nixon V Reagan, it was documented as the first ever presidential debate to be televised. During the televised debate, Reagan made sure to wear a suit that perfectly complemented the background of the recording. Nixon was also seen sweating and seemed a little nervous while talking, whereas Reagan looked very confident. People who watched debate on television thought that Reagan won, however people that listened on the radio thought that Nixon had won. This proves that visual appearance does have an affect on what people think about others.]]> 2018-03-13 23:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241662360 olivia hillhouse o_hilly26 https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241662701 on page 25 of blink, in the text it says that " you don't just get the sense that they're an unhappy couple when they come in" this shows that he actually has to study a couple and their actions before he can tell.]]> 2018-03-13 23:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241662701 Jada Asherman jadaasherman https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241670401 2018-03-14 00:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241670401 Jada Asherman jadaasherman https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241670881 Business Edge says " When Malcolm Gladwell let his hair grow out a couple of years ago, people began making snap judgements about him. Those who knew Gladwell as an author and a staff writer with the New Yorker magazine suddenly slotted him into a new category- a quickier, edgier part of the avant-garde." This just shows that snap judgements are made unconsciously and made quickly based off 1 encounter.

She claimed that when the group of participants saw the blacks, they performed worst on the test, compared to when they saw the whites. As stated in Blink, when the people saw positive images of the blacks they also performed well on the test. One can argue that it is based on what racial stereotypes you define people with. ]]> 2018-03-14 01:41:28 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241686339 Divya Mallemadugula https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241704173 I was not in class during the discussion... this is my prep]]> 2018-03-14 03:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241704173 Divya Mallemadugula https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241704438 According to the book Blink, "If the surgeon's voice was judged to sound dominant, the surgeon tended to be in the sued group. If the voice sounded less dominant and more concerned the surgeon tended to be in the non-sued group" (Gladwell 43). Humans make snap judgements based on the most irrelevant things. I don't think it is right to make judgements based on voice because that surgeon could be extremely talented, but I think the reason humans do it even though they know it is not right is because being comforted by the doctors who could have save someone's life is more important at certain times in someone's life.]]> 2018-03-14 03:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241704438 Divya Mallemadugula https://padlet.com/aubreychaffin/9hodoh9k4817/wish/241705159 On page 84 of the book Blink,  "It turns out that more than 80% of all those who have ever taken the test end-up having pro-white associations... what it means is that our attitudes towards things like race or gender operate on 2 levels."
