According to the results of a series of experiments correlating time spent with a new person and the judgments made during that time, quick, initial judgments tend to stick. “When exposure time increased from 100 to 500 ms, participants’ judgments became more negative, response times for judgments decreased, and confidence in judgments increased. When exposure time increased from 500 to 1,000 ms, trait judgments and response times did not change significantly (with one exception), but confidence increased for some of the judgments; this result suggests that additional time may simply boost confidence in judgments,” [writer Eric Barker reports on his blog (opens in a new tab)](http://www.bakadesuyo.com/2010/07/how-long-does-it-take-us-to-make-up-our-mind/) . The experiment was performed by the Department of Psychology of Princeton University.
