| 1 | [deleted by user]The idea is that people who have more differentiated, abstract, and integrated dimensions for representing the social world will, in general, be more skillful communicators. The most common way of measuring this degree of differentiation (also known as "cognitive complexity") is to ask people to write brief impressions of liked and disliked others. These impressions are then scored by counting the number of unique descriptors in the impressions. More descriptors means higher "cognitive complexit… | /r/seduction | 23/08/17 04:25 AM |

I do think that the superficial things are important: dress, hygiene, posture, fitness, etc., because everything about our appearance communicates something about our identity, and if we want others to value us we have to show that we … | /r/seduction | 07/04/17 03:07 PM |
