Impression in Everyday Life Discussion

1. Observe yourself over 5 minutes of social interaction. Your should aim to observe yourself in great detail.2. Leave the interaction, and immediately (like over the next 15 minutes) take detailed notes onIf your interaction ended up nondescript, having basically none of the above, observe another interaction. 5 minutes is a brief time period, and it’s easy to find opportunities. Getting coffee at Starbuck’s, for example, is an ideal opportunity.Aim for at least 1 solid page of single-spaced notes. I know, this sounds like an awful lot for just 5 minutes of interaction, but try to get this much. It depends on the detail you use. I think you can do it. When you look for the interactional detail, it’s there. Reaching for this level of detail will make you a much more sensitive observer.3. Write a discussion post about how we do impression management in everyday life. Analyze data from your 5 minute observation; use Newman’s chapter on “Supporting Identity: The Presentation of Self” (Turner & Stets could be useful too; use as desired) to support your analysis.
