根据下面资料，回答题 Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions, if we take a moment andthink about how we are likely to react, we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of ourquick, hard-wired responses.
Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms; if we are judging whether someone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly, within milliseconds. But we needmore time to assess other factors. To accurately tell whether someone is sociable, studies show, weneed at least a minute, preferably five. It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality, likeneuroticism or open-mindedness.
But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren't exclusive to the interpersonal realm. Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few millisecondsprimes us to read 20 percent faster, even though reading has little to do with eating. Weunconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whateverelse we're doing. Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.
Yet we can reverse such influences. If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face (one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents arealways smiling), we can take a moment before buying. If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants, we can help screeners understand their biases--or hire out-
side screeners.
John Gottman, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly "thin slice" information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in "thick sliced" long-term study. When Dr. Gottman reallywants to assess whether a couple will stay together, he invites them to his island retreat for a muchlonger evaluation: two days, not two seconds.
Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals:dogs can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes. But historically we have spentabout 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term. Although technology might change theway we react, it hasn't changed our nature. We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.
