Out of these 5 sources, the first one, Understanding the Psychology of First Impressions, seems the most promising to me.  By reading the title and the abstract, I believe it will be the one source that hits most of my questions, that I have about my research question, all at once.  Most of the other articles talks about the accuracy of first impressions, but this article talks about the perception process and what we are thinking while we make judgments.
