The two topics that emerged were positive emotional valence and warmth, and negative emotional valence and potential threat.

Compared with other types of first impression research, Jones and his team note that their research demonstrated how natural language provides a workable alternative approach to studying first impressions through capturing information about processes of first impressions as they occur spontaneously. They showed how free‐text responses of facial first impressions revealed the two foundational topics that reflect individual perceptions of positive emotional valence, warmth and approachability, and negative emotional valence and potential threat.
