Answer to Question 1

TRUE
Explanation: Research shows we form impressions of others within a tenth of a second, based on our first glance. If these first impressions are negative, they tend to be more heavily weighted in the interview than if that same information came out later. Most interviewers' decisions change very little after the first four or five minutes of an interview. As a result, information elicited early in the interview carries greater weight than does information elicited later.

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: B) Stereotyping is defined as judging someone on the basis of one's perception of the group to which that person belongs. Relying on this type of generalization helps a person make decisions quickly.
