In the era when social interaction accounts for a huge proportion, the WeChat avatar often determines the "first impression", and the "first impression" of others on you greatly affects the "stereotype" in the future.
For example, the first impression of an anime avatar may be a little childish and full of childishness. But this is not the case. People who like anime avatars are not necessarily naive, and even quite a few people are mature and dare to take responsibility. They are easily influenced by external things. I hope I can keep a pure heart. I am an idealist, with strong imagination and creativity, and open mind.
When you change your avatar, you will consider the first impression.
Face-to-face communication is becoming less and less. Whether this has a negative or positive impact on our interpersonal communication is not discussed for the time being. When we communicate with people through the Internet, social avatars undoubtedly become the first impression that the other party judges our personality characteristics, and friends and relatives who haven't contacted for a long time in the friends list can probably get a glimpse of our recent state and mood through the frequency of our WeChat avatar replacement.
As we all know, the influence of first impression should not be underestimated, and in the process of communicating with others, our avatars will not only leave different first impressions on each other, but also have a psychological "exposure effect", that is, when something appears in front of people repeatedly, it will make people have a reinforced impression.
Through these two kinds of psychological and visual impressions, and after a series of brain processing, our image in the other person's mind exists as defined by him.
It can be seen that our WeChat avatar reveals an intuitive and simple message to others, which will make others form a first impression on us soon. Then let's discuss from a psychological point of view what kind of first impression several different types of WeChat avatars will leave on others.
First, use your own photo as your avatar.
Taking your own photo as an avatar should be a kind of avatar with a relatively large proportion around us. The reason is that people often lose their "avatar freedom" after taking part in work, and employees often need to use their professional clothes as their avatars, which is both formal and refreshing, and it is also convenient for others to easily identify their occupations. Such a WeChat avatar often leaves the first impression on others as a serious and responsible person who loves his work and puts his work first in life.
In addition, some people will take their selfies as their avatars, and a good-looking avatar will also make people who chat with them feel pleasing to the eye. According to psychological research, it is always generally believed that they will be more comfortable with those who are extremely attractive in appearance. It can be seen that people who choose to use their own photos as WeChat avatars usually give others the first impression that they are confident, generous, cheerful, more concerned about others and know more about social skills.
Second, the cartoon avatar
Others like to use cartoon characters or cute animals as their avatars. This kind of head portrait often gives people a very cheerful and lively impression, full of enthusiasm for life and easy to get along with.
In fact, in real life, such people are often simple and kind-hearted. They don't calculate others, and their hearts are pure and kind. They always give people a very lovely feeling, just like their heads, giving people a warm, budding and caring feeling.
When we stare at such an anime avatar and chat with each other, we often assume that the person opposite the mobile phone screen is friendly, warm and friendly. This first impression can quickly close the psychological distance between the two sides and make it easier to become friends.
