Previous work has shown that compared to passive perceivers who view preselected information about target persons, active perceivers are less confident in their impressions, do not show increased confidence with increased amounts of information, and like targets less. The authors now explain these findings, postulating that perceivers without control over the amount of information they receive should be motivated to form impressions earlier, altering their information-processing strategies. Study 1 predicted and found that content-only active perceivers who control the content, but not the amount, of information show the same positive relationship between confidence and amount of information as passive perceivers, as well as the same reading-time patterns and level of liking. Study 2 used clearly valenced target stimuli and found support for the hypothesis that passive perceivers form more extreme early impressions, leading to greater liking when early information is positive but less liking when it is negative.

Based on plenty of references, such as monograph, journal, thesis and other document, this paper summarized the present research situation of Chinese geological disaster. Although geological disaster research has made some achievements in forecasting, monitoring and early warning, risk assessment, disaster prevention and other aspects, it still has many problems, such as theories and methods of geological disaster is weak, and lack disaster information processing capacity. This paper also put forward the importance of studying geological disaster from the basin and system perspective and carrying out comprehensive management of basin system disaster.
