3. AV STARS IN JAPAN – GIRLS NEXT DOOR

Many young Japanese girls chooses to become a porn star and they feel satisfied with the life they are having now. By all means I don’t have any discrimination towards them. However some people do. Before they see this video, this pretty and innocent girl is like a high school student. But after they realize she is a porn star, their attitude would be changed. Actually my thoughts changed too, but not because her job, it is because her professional spirt and optimism. In her porn she is very sexy and seductive. However, jumping out of the screen, she is just a normal girl who loves her career and life.

4. FIRST IMPRESSION RESEARCH

We define first impressions as the initial perception and formation of thoughts about another.

we might consider social thought. From there, we go on to the upper cortex-that part of the brain that most separates us humans from other primates and in which the information takes on a meaning that is truly social. Finally, we end with the processing of this information in the frontal and prefrontal cortices. This is where the information drawn in from the outside world becomes fully processed and crosses the barrier into what we think of as consciousness and the mind. At that point, our impression of another is formed, and this is where we begin to have ac- cess to that impression via our conscious thought. At consciousness, the rest of what is discussed in this book begins-our impressions of others and the concomitant, and resultant, behaviors, processes, and complex relationships that color our social world.

The first step in the person perception process begins with perceptions derived from various sensory systems. Although the neural correlates of touch (Deibert, Kraut, Kremen, & Hart, 1999), taste (Norgren, Hajnal, & Mungarndee, 2006), and smell (Shepherd, 2006) have all been explored, arguably the principal senses for perceiving other peo- ple are sight and sound. Therefore, we consider the starting point of person perception and first impressions to lie within the domains of the visual and auditory cortices, with both human behavior and the neuroimaging research tending to focus on the former (sight) over the latter (sound).

The tone of voice has been consistently shown in behavioral studies to signal cues to identity (e.g., Gaudio, 1994), emotion (e.g., Johnstone, van Reekum, Oakes, & Davidson, 2006), and intent and thought (see Schiffrin, Tannen, & Hamilton, 2001). Hence, perceptions of others’ voices play an important role in forming first impressions, as well.
The social and cognitive neuroscience of vision has received much more attention than the social and cognitive neuroscience of audition, largely owing to the technological limitations of imaging auditory acti- vation in the noisy environment of the fMRI scanner.

It takes just one-tenth of a second for us to judge someone and make a first impression.Research finds that the more time participants are afforded to form the impression, the more confidence in impressions they report. Not only are people quick to form first impressions, they are also fairly accurate when the target presents him or herself genuinely. People are generally not good at perceiving feigned emotions or detecting lies.Research participants who reported forming accurate impressions of specific targets did tend to have more accurate perceptions of specific targets that aligned with others’ reports of the target. Individuals are also fairly reliable at understanding the first impression that he/she will project to others.

Upon seeing photographs of straight, gay, and bisexual people, participants correctly identified gay versus straight males and females at above-chance levels based solely on seeing a picture of their face, however, bisexual targets were only identified at chance. The findings suggest a straight-non straight dichotomy in the categorization of sexual orientation.
