Introduction:

[ ] Consent form and brief overview of study

[ ] BDI - over 15 excluded $5, 10-15 ok as long as #9 = 0

[ ] Introduce to the idea of person perception.

We meet people all the time and easily form opinions about the type of people that they are. Sometimes the opinion is based on what we observe ourselves, sometimes it is based on what we learn from others, and still other times it is a subjective feeling about or reaction to that person. Imagine being a party and meeting new people, when you leave you are likely to have some idea or impression about most of the people you met and spoke to and perhaps even about others that you just observed. In this study we are trying to understand how people form their first impressions about other individuals. To do so we are going to ask you to form general impressions of the people you "meet" today. Sometimes you will see a photograph of a person accompanied with brief descriptions. Other times you will see a photograph of a couple without any accompanying description. In any case, your task is to form a general impression; either about the type of person he or she is, or the type of relationship they have. We will introduce you to the individuals first. You will see a photo with a description like this one of Chris. Press the space bar to see the next description. As you read each, try and form an overall opinion of Chris. After you have read all the sentences there will be a summary page. Then I will ask you to use your impression to rate Chris on a number of traits. Afterwards you will "meet" a number of couples like this couple Peter and Tracy. First you will view their picture and form an impression of how they get along. Next you will rate their relationship on a few different scales. Then we will ask you to answer some questions about what you think their relationship is like.
