To examine whether social cognition recruits distinct mental operations, we measured brain activity during social ("form an impression of this person") and relatively nonsocial ("remember the order in which person information is presented") orienting tasks. Extending previous research on the neural basis of social cognition, the impression formation task differentially engaged an extensive regi...

In virtual organizations, such as Open Source Software (OSS) communities, we expect that the impressions members have about each other play an important role in fostering effective collaboration. However, there is little empirical evidence about how peer impressions form and change in virtual organizations. This paper reports the results from a survey designed to understand the peer impression ...

Agar has been used for a number of years in the preparation of elastic duplicating materials. These duplicating materials have been used mainly in partial denture prosthesis for the preparation of a duplicate refectory cast of the original stone cast of the patient's mouth. Since moderately large quantities of duplicating materials are used in these procedures, the low cost and reversibility of...

This preregistered experiment examines the impact of three nonverbal cues displayed through video conference screenshots (i.e., gaze direction, distance between face and camera, camera angle) on impression formation. Actors in each portrayed one 18 cue configurations that manipulated (at on-screen, or off-screen), (close far), angle (high, eye-level, low). Study participants (N = 3,982) rated a...
