Document Summary
What goes into person perception: behaviour, context, schemas! Behavioural input: verbal behaviour-talking, language, non-verbal behaviour- what we don"t say, movement of face, posture of body , displays, gestures. Subtle behaviours, you don"t think about it as much as when your talking: emblems. Gestures have well understood meaning within a culture (serve the purpose of words) Must be a widely accepted gesture that communicates a meaning or phrase that we can understand. Effectively non verbal language. (thumbs up, okay peace) Use of emblems and their meaning are very culturally bound. So widely known that they are considered to be a form of language themselves. An approach to social psychology focused on the attributional power of brief exposure to others. Not every personal trait can be accurately detected within a few seconds, we cant immediately. Taking a thin slice of your personality and making a broad inference about a personality trait know someone in a snap judgment.
