Description
David A. Kenny's pioneering contribution takes a social relations approach to basic questions of person perception in social interaction. Enlightening and provocative, this volume provides a comprehensive theoretical overview of "interpersonal perception," a field of research that holds great promise for shedding light on social behavior. Blending meticulous analysis with thoughtful interpretation, the book demonstrates how interpersonal perception enhances the traditional study of person perception by capturing the richness of social behavior.
This unique volume is invaluable reading for all social scientists interested in person perception.

Reviews / Votes
Kenny's book is testimony to the excitement and vibrancy that once again pervade research on how people perceive themselves and others....The book can serve as a manifesto for social perception researchers--a reference guide for how research in this area can be done. - Psychological InquiryDavid Kenny has written the Book of Revelation for the interpersonal perception researchers of the 21st century....destined to be a kind of bible to the next generation of interpersonal perception researchers. - William Ickes
The contributions the book makes to our understanding of interpersonal perception are unique and important. Rarely does a book offer such a striking advance beyond the previous state of the science. It is a triple crown winner, offering contributions of distinction in theory, methodology, and data. - Bella M. DePaulo, PhD, University of Virginia
