Interpersonal perception
The interpersonal perception (also: person perception ) is a special area of research in the field of educational psychology and social psychology .
The central questions within this area of perception deal with the following topics:
- how we perceive other people
- how we rate other people
- what role situational aspects and
- what role attitudes (personality dispositions) play in this.
Perception is always dependent on the information available. The first mutual perception has a decisive effect on the development of a relationship . But even if people have known each other for a long time, mutual perception plays an important role in interaction .
The perception and assessment of other people is also of great importance for the teaching and learning process , especially when assessing performance. The effects of selective information on the perception and evaluation process can be seen in the experiments of the American psychologists Robert Rosenthal and David Rosenhan .
