　　New research, conducted, with college freshmen（新生）who met on the first day of class, found that these snap judgments influenced what kind of relationships would develop. While the power of the first impressions has been well known, this research shows that the course of a relationship may be influenced much more quickly than once thought--within just 10 minutes of meeting. “Earlier research had assumed（假設(shè)）there was a cumulative（積累的）effect that happens in the first few days of meeting, which helps determine how the relationship will develop,” said Ramirez. “But we’re finding that it all happens much sooner that that--it’s actually just minutes.”

　　Ramirez conducted the nine-week-long study with Sunnafrank of the University of Minnesota, Duluth. The findings showed that how positively the participants（參與者）rated a potential relationship with their new acquaintance（相識(shí)的人）on the first day of class was the best predictor of what kind of relationship actually did develop over the next nine weeks. People who rated the potential relationship more positively tended to sit closer to their partner during class, and communicate more with that person over the course of the nine weeks. After nine weeks, they were also more likely to report a closer friendship had developed.

　　While this study focused on same-sex meetings, Ramirez said it could have applications for dating as well. For one, the study suggests that speed dating--in which you have very short, timed “mini-dates” with a variety of people in one evening--may have real value. While some people have questioned whether you can really evaluate a potential date in just a few minutes, he said this study suggests people already do that. “Romantic relationships probably are similar to what we found in this study--they begin with people making judgments very quickly,” Ramirez said.

　　Ramirez emphasized that the results don’t mean everything about a future relationship is set in stone within minutes of meeting. Obviously, events happen that can change the course of a relationship. Right now, Ramirez said he and Sunnafrank are studying what events may change that initial（最初的）prediction about a relationship, either positively or negatively.
