When you meet for the first time, should we follow social rules or show your unique characteristics to leave a better first impression? A new study published in "Social Psychology and Personality Science" discussed this issue.

Researchers at McGill University recruited 204 people to participate in the experiments. Participants completed a video interview (the question includes what do you love to do? What do you like to do in your spare time? This kind of highly related issues), of which Half of people were told to be yourself before the interview. The researchers then recruited 373 observers to watch these videos and score.
