Interpersonal perception refers to the judgments that a person, called the perceiver, makes about another person, called the target, where the target is a real person. Ordinarily the perceiver and the target have a relational history and both persons serve as a perceiver and target. The purpose of this page is to describe what has been learned about interpersonal perception. Definitions of terms that are in red or blue on these pages can be obtained for terms by clicking on those terms.
