Should a person’s appearance determine our behavior towards them. On
what basis should we choose our friends?
Answers
Answer:
Are we generally good at judging people's personality? Can we tell by just looking (or listening) whether a person is confident, gregarious, shy, responsible, calm, or attention-seeking?
Recent studies in psychology suggest that we can. Even when we only get a chance to look at a person for a few seconds—also known as a thin-slicing—our judgment of personality is fairly reliable. Although we make quick judgments about personality on the basis of things like facial expression, posture, clothing, and attractiveness, we are generally at least somewhat accurate about initial impressions.
Naumann et al. (2009) carried out a study in which research participants were exposed to full-posture photographs in two conditions—one in which the photographed subjects had a neutral posture and facial expression (standardized condition), and another in which facial expression and posture were spontaneous (spontaneous condition).
The personalities of the people in the photographs were identified through self-reporting and reporting by acquaintances. Accuracy was determined on the basis of a comparison to self-reported personality tests, and significant accuracy was calculated on the basis of results found in other studies of accuracy in thin-slicing conditions.
The researchers found that in the standardized condition, the research participants were accurate for extraversion, self-esteem, and religiosity. In the spontaneous condition, participants perceived a majority of the traits with a significant degree of accuracy.
What is particularly impressive about this is that there was no face-to-face interaction with the people in the photographs, and hence only some degree of nonverbal cues.
One reason for the accuracy of thin-slicing observations likely hinges on the rich information conveyed by physical appearance and the fact that this information reliably tracks people’s personality traits. Type of clothing, hairstyle, and personal grooming all convey information about people’s conscientiousness (Albright et al., 1988; Borkenau & Liebler, 1992), and facial expression and posture convey information

Answer:
No, a person's appearance can never determine our behaviour towards them!
Explanation:
A person with good heart can be poor and messed up and a person with bad behaviour can be rich and well dressed. If we judge someone acording to their appearanc then we may never find a good and true friend....
There shouldn't be a vibe that a friend must be rich of money....instead we should think that a friend can be rich or poor of money but must be rich of hart other wise the friend would not be called a true one!!! And, if you are gonna judge someone by there appearance then first of all imagine by putting yourself in place of that person whom you are gonna jugde by there appearance, and just think that if someone cane and saw your messed up dress code and dirty body and said that, "ugh, you ugly guy can never be my friend! Just get lost from here don't you know i hate this dirty and bad smell !!" Then, how will you feel when no one makes you friend...
Now, i think you have understood that on what basic we should choose our friend! the answer is heart, behaviour, attitude, the way of judging others! and next thing never judge someone by their appearance, intelligence, rich or poor....while choosing a friend!!!
OOPS!, SORRY! IT'S SUCH A LONG ANSWER BECAUSE I DROWNED INTO MY FEELINGS...HEHE......HOPE I HELPED YOU MUCH!
