Application of primacy effect

"First cause" can also be said to be the first impression, which generally refers to people's intuitive observation and attribution judgment of the object of communication when they first contact. In interpersonal communication, primacy effect plays a decisive role in the formation of people's communication impression.

When we meet for the first time, our first impression of each other is formed by each other's expression, posture, appearance, clothing, conversation and etiquette. In real life, the first impression formed by the primacy effect often influences our future views of others. Because once the first impression is formed, it is not easy to change. First impression is the foundation of long-term communication and the starting point of gaining trust. Therefore, we should pay attention to leave a good first impression in interpersonal communication. How to do it? First of all, we should pay attention to appearance, such as clean clothes, harmonious and appropriate clothing collocation; second, we should pay attention to our own speech and behavior, so we must exercise and improve our speech skills and master appropriate social etiquette.
