People need just half a second to figure out whether you deserve trust

Just say "Hello"



Employees of the University of Glasgow have found that most people simply exchange greetings, to assess whether the other person is trustworthy. To make a good (or not) the impression takes only half a second: people judge the reliability and leadership qualities of other people within the first 500 milliseconds from the time when they started talking.

This shows that your tone of voice when greeting directly and generates the other person first impression of you. Scientists have found that the most important features in this case - the reliability and tendency to lead. According to the study, the women thought men who when greeting slightly raised tone of voice, more reliable. On a penchant for leadership, on the other hand, indicates a decrease tone.

The fact that the human mind is able to come to this conclusion so quickly and independently of visual references, suggests that this ability may have evolved in us long ago, when the decision who to trust and whom you can go, have been crucial to the survival species.
