interpersonal perception

Interpersonal perception is the process by which we interpret and understand other people's behaviors, emotions, and intentions. It involves observing cues like facial expressions, tone of voice, body language, and words to form impressions about who someone is and how they’re feeling. This process helps us navigate social interactions, build relationships, and respond appropriately. Good interpersonal perception requires attention, empathy, and some skill in reading social cues, ultimately enabling us to connect more effectively and avoid misunderstandings.
