The Visual Image Is Always Dominant
When you walk through a door, although no one has ever seen you before, you create what social psychologists call the “threshold effect”. This means that in that decisive moment people will determine:

Your social position
Your level of sophistication
Your social and educational heritage
Your success in previous and current endeavors
Your moral character
Your future
