What do people look for when sizing up others? How do these judgments influence their conduct? And how far will they go to hit it off? In this program, Stanford Universitys Philip Zimbardo, a leading expert in psychological experimentation, and Mark McDermott, one of Britains top social psychologists, analyze the subtle dynamics of meeting new people as day one in The Human Zoo unfolds. In addition, other researchers explore the impact of first impressions at a job interview, how physical attractiveness affects success, the parameters of personal space, and facial expressions associated with deceit.
