Document Summary
Scripts that enable us to anticipate goals, behaviors, and outcomes that are likely to occur in a particular setting. The more experience you have in a given situation the more detail scripts you will contain. Culture scripts- clean plate= enjoyed food, things left= full stomach. Scripts at social settings- polite at an interview, rowdy as a nascar race. Context effects on the perception of joy, anger, fear, pride, disgust surprise, and other emotions in the face are quick and automatic. First step in social perception is recognizing what someone is doing in that moment. People derive meaning from their observations by dividing the continuous stream of human behavior into discrete units . Mind perception- the process by which people attribute human like mental states to various animate and inanimate objects, including other people. People see inner qualities of mind in target objects that superficially resemble human in their speed of movement.
