Alex Todorov, Ingrid Ockert | The Psychology of First Impressions and "Programmed Inequality"
Update: 2017-08-12
Description
6/27/17: Stevie speaks with Alexander Todorov, psychology professor at Princeton and author of the book "Face Value: The Irresistible Influence of First Impressions." The book dives into his research on first impressions — the very human way we make character judgments after only a glance at another person’s face. These impressions are often incorrect, but can affect important decisions we make, like elections and criminality. In this impression we take a deep dive in to the history of physiognomy, current research in psychology, and the effect of first impressions on elections, criminal justice, and more.
