Interpersonal Perception

By Edward Ellsworth Jones

Book Overview

This book is concerned with the processes of interpersonal perception. It focuses on the various conditions whereby one person judges the personality characteristics of another. How do we infer traits, values and abilities upon observing the behaviour of another person? How do situational contexts enter into these judgments? to what extent are such judgments affected by the interaciton goals of the perceiver. The approach of the book is to examine these issues in the context of ongoing social interactions.
