What are other people like? How do we decide if someone is
friendly, honest or clever? What assumptions do we develop about
them and what explanations do we give for their behaviour? The
Perception of People examines key topics in psychology to explore
how we make sense of other people (and ourselves). Do our decisions
result from careful consideration and a desire to produce an
accurate perception? Or do we jump to conclusions in our judgements
and rely on expectations and stereotypes? To answer these questions
the book examines models of person perception and provides an
up-to-date and detailed account of the central psychological
research in this area, focusing in particular on the social
cognitive approach. It also considers and reflects on the
involvement of culture in cognition, and includes coverage of
relevant research in culture and language that influence the way we
think and speak about others. As well as providing a valuable text
in social psychology, The Perception of People also offers a
direction for the integration of ideas from cognitive and social
psychology with those of cultural psychology, anthropology,
sociology, philosophy and social history. Clear explanation of
modern research is placed in historical and cultural context to
provide a fuller understanding of how psychologists have worked to
understand how people interpret the world around them and make
sense of the people within it. Ideal reading for students of social
psychology, this engaging text will also be useful in subject areas
such as communication studies and media studies, where the
perception of people is highly relevant.
