Person Perception

Person perception is the process by which individuals form impressions and make judgments about others. It involves interpreting cues such as appearance, behavior, and communication to assess qualities like personality, intentions, and reliability. This process helps navigate social interactions, enabling us to decide how to respond or connect with others. While essential for social functioning, person perception can be influenced by biases and stereotypes, which may lead to inaccurate assessments. Overall, it’s a natural mental tendency to understand and predict others' behavior based on available information.
