  The first part of this experiment is concerned with the way in which we form an impression of a person on the basis of his or her actions.  In a few moments you will be shown a series of slides, each slide containing a single description of a person's behavior.  Please read these sentences carefully, studying each one until the next slide appears on the screen.  Do not be concerned with memorization-there are far too many individual items to remember.  Try instead to form an overall impression of what the person who performed these various actions is like.  At the end of the session, we will ask you a series of questions concerning the impression that you have formed of the person described in these sentences.
