The use of videoconferencing platforms has globally risen to facilitate face-to-face communication since the onset of COVID-19. But how do our first impressions of people we meet on Zoom compare to in-person interactions? Specifically, do we view others' personalities as accurately (in line with their unique personality) and normatively (in line with the average, desirable personality) as in-person? Across two Zoom first-impression round-robin studies (exploratory study: = 567, = 3,053; preregistered replication: = 371, = 1,961), which we compared to an in-person round-robin study ( = 306; = 1,682), people viewed others' personalities as accurately and as normatively on Zoom as in-person. Moreover, people better liked interaction partners they viewed more accurately and normatively. However, in interactions of poorer audio-video quality, people viewed others less accurately, less normatively, and liked them less. Overall, through a screen, our impressions of others are as accurate and normative as face-to-face, but it depends on the quality of that screen.
自新冠疫情爆发以来，视频会议平台的使用在全球范围内有所增加，以促进面对面交流。但是，我们在Zoom上对所遇到的人的第一印象与面对面互动相比如何呢？具体而言，我们对他人个性的看法是否与面对面时一样准确（符合他们独特的个性）和规范（符合平均的、理想的个性）？在两项Zoom第一印象循环研究（探索性研究：n = 567，N = 3053；预先注册的复制研究：n = 371，N = 1961）中，我们将其与一项面对面循环研究（n = 306；N = 1682）进行比较，结果发现人们在Zoom上对他人个性的看法与面对面时一样准确和规范。此外，人们更喜欢他们认为更准确和规范的互动伙伴。然而，在音频-视频质量较差的互动中，人们对他人的看法不那么准确、不那么规范，也不太喜欢他们。总体而言，通过屏幕，我们对他人的印象与面对面时一样准确和规范，但这取决于屏幕的质量。
