The effect of variation among the people being judged has been considered in previous studies of first impressions. The present study is concerned with the effect of variation among judges upon their first impressions of others. Differences in the first impressions of secure and insecure judges are investigated. From a larger group of judges, a secure and an insecure group were selected. All judges were exposed to a series of 200 photographs. Judges were required to indicate whether the person in the photograph was Very Warm, Warm, Cold, or Very Cold, The percentage of judges reporting Warm impressions more often than Cold impressions tended to be greater in the secure group than in the insecure group.
