THE IMPACT
THE IMPACT is a game design, inspired by our first impressions and how we make attributions of others.
THE IMPACT
To every experience, each of us brings our own schemas, attitudes, and expectations. In fact, the process of interpretation guarantees that we will not all form exactly the same impression of the people that we see. These differences in accessibility will influence the kinds of impressions that we form about others because they influence what we focus on and how we think about them.
This first impression game is based on the idea that we each use our own expectations in judgment of others and our view of others may be more informative about us than it is about them.
Each board game includes a black board and sixteen chips, which consist of four different colors of several geometric shapes.
regarding to The subject, four people were asked to describe me, using these forms of shapes in a black board.
If two people are both thinking about their mutual friend Jane, or describing her to someone else, they should each think about or describe her in pretty much the same way. After all, Jane is Jane, and she should have a personality that they can both see. But this is not always the case; they may form different impressions of Jane for a variety of reasons. The two people’s experiences with Jane may be somewhat different.
