About

Participants (random) will have a conversation with each other over zoom initially with their cameras off and then rate each other on attractiveness, first impressions, and self-esteem. Then both participants will turn their cameras back on and have another conversion and then again rate each other. The ratings are confidential and will not be shared with the other person.

Two months later the participants will come to the study clinic office and have an in-person conversation with someone new and rate each other.
