00:27

forming impressions about Janine based on an odd accent and mismatch clothing

00:31

but why what's the explanation is it A normalizing well no because the process

00:36

of normalization refers to an instance in which certain ideas or actions become

01:33

snap judgments made when we are forming an impression of a new person, these

01:40

influenced by our previous experiences So D is the answer we want, just try to
