This document discusses several key concepts in social perception:
1. Nonverbal communication plays an important role in social perception. Facial expressions, eye contact, body language, posture, and touching can all reveal emotional and mental states. Basic emotions are often expressed through specific facial movements.
2. Attribution refers to how people seek to understand the behaviors of others by inferring underlying traits or motives. Correspondent inference theory holds that behaviors perceived as freely chosen and distinctive are more likely to be attributed to internal traits. Kelley's theory examines how attribution is influenced by consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness.
3. Impression formation is the process by which people combine diverse information to form unified impressions of others. Initial
Attributions are inferences that people make about the causes of events and behavior. People make attributions in order to understand their experiences. Attributions strongly influence the way people interact with others.
According to psychologist Gordon Allport, social psychology is a discipline that uses scientific methods "to understand and explain how the thought, feeling and behavior of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of other human beings" (1985).
Briefly this field has been discussed.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

1. Situation:
You are at a party; an attractive
person glances in your direction
and smiles. Is that an invitation
to come over and start a
conversation? Or is this person
smiling because he/she has just
heard an amusing remark?
2. You are buying a used car. You
asked the owner whether there is
anything wrrong with it. He looks
you in the eye and says, “No way!
This car is in perfect shape.” Do
you believe him?
Situation:
3. Imagine that you are a professor. The
day after you give a midterm exam to
your class, one of the students comes to
see you and, with a look of pure
innocence, says: “I’m sorry i missed the
exam, but i was away on a field trip for
one of my other classes, and we got back
much later than i expected. Can i take a
makeup exam?” Do you accept this
story?
Situation:
5. SOCIAL
PERCEPTIO
N
An active process (or set of processes) through which we seek to
know and understand others
It is one of the most basic—and important aspects of social life
6. SOCIAL PERCEPTION
• We try to understand other person’s current
feelings, moods and emotions—how they are
feeling right now, often provided by nonverbal
cues involving facial expressions, eye contact,
body posture and movements.
• We attempt to understand the more lasting
causes behind others’ behavior—the reasons
why they have acted in certain ways—motives,
intentions and traits.
9. Facial Expressions
“The face is the image of the soul”
Human feelings and emotions are often reflected
in the face and can be read there in specific
expressions.
There are six different basic emotions on the
human face: anger, fear, happiness, sadness,
surprise, and disgust.
Facial expressions reflect individual’s underlying
emotions.
Different facial movements are accompanied by
changes in physiological activities.
Studies conducted in many different cultures
suggest that human beings all over the world tend
to show highly similar facial expressions.

10. Six Basic Emotions:
Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression Formation/Management
11. Eye Contact
“Windows to the soul”
We do often learn much of about others’
feelings from their eyes.
We interpret a high level of gazing from
another as a sign of liking or friendliness.
Staring—a form of eye contact in which
one person continues to gaze steadily at
another regardless of what the recipient
does.
Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression Formation/Management
12. Body Language
Our current moods or emotions are often
reflected in the position, posture and
movement of our bodies, in which, provide
us with useful information about others.
It often reveals others‘ emotional states.
Large numbers of movements—especially
ones in which one part of the body does
something to another part, suggest
emotional arousal.
Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression Formation/Management
13. Aronoffs and colleages’ research on ballet dancers:
Dancers who played with dangerous, threatening
characters would show more diagonal and angular
postures, while dancers with warm and sympathetic
characters would show rounded postures.
Large scale body movements or postures can sometimes
provide important information about others’ emotions, and
even about their apparent traits.
Lynn and Mynier’s research on body posture and
movements (busy restaurants as the setting): In these
settings, they arranged for waiters and waitresses, when
taking drink orders from customers, either to stand
upright or to squat down next to the customers.
Lynn and Mynier predicted that squatting down would be
interpreted as a sign of friendliness, because in that position
the waiter and waitresses would make more eye contact
with customers and would be physically closer to them.
Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression Formation/Management
14. Touching
The most intimate nonverbal cues.
Factors to consider in touching: who does
the touching; the nature of physical contact;
the context in which it takes place.
Touch can suggest affection, sexual interest,
dominance, caring, or even aggression.
When touching is considered acceptable,
positive reactions often result. If it is
perceived as a status or power play, or if it is
too prolonged or intimate, touching may
evoke anxiety, anger, and other negative
reactions.
Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression Formation/Management
15. Research findings on gender differences:
Among young couples, male are more likely
to touch females than vice versa. As age
increases, difference shrinks, females are
more likely to initiate touching than males.
Among younger couples, relationships are
not yet well established; prevailing gender
roles encourage visible gestures of
possessiveness such as touching by males. As
relatinship develops, however, gender roles
may require more gestures of possessiveness
by females.
Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression Formation/Management
17. Detection of Deception: Nonverbal cues of Lying
•Persons who are lying often blink more frequently
and show pupils that are more dilated than persons
who are telling the truth. They may also show an
unusually low or high level of eye contact
Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression Formation/Management
18. Attribution
Attribution refers to the process of understanding and
thinking about people within social situations, as one tends
to try and explain the behavior of others.
19. Correspondent Inference Theory
Coined by Jones and Davis in 1965. The theory is concerned with how we
decide, on the basis of others’ overt actions, that they possess specific
traits or dispositions that they carry with them from situation to situation,
and that remain fairly stable over time.
• This theory simply says that people try to explain behavior by finding a
match between the behavior they can see and the stable qualities/
personality traits of the person displaying it.
• When we infer others’ traits form their behavior, we accomplish three
distinct tasks (Gilbert et al, 1988): we categorize an individual’s behavior,
characterize the behavior, and we correct our inferences about this
person’s traits in the light of information about the situation in which it
has occured.
• In sum, according to this theory, we are most likely to conclude that
others’ behavior reflects their stable traits when the behavior (1) is freely
chosen; (2) yields distinctive, noncommon effects; and (3) is low in social
desirability.
Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression Formation/Management
20. Kelley’s Theory of Causal Attribution
• Illustrates that our knowledge of behavior is used to make
attributions based on the consensus, consistency and
distinctiveness of the available information. It looks at how
such information co-varies with each other so, is there
consensus (do other people behave in the same way as the
individual?), consistency (has the individual behaved in the
same way in the past, or on each occasion?) or, is there
distinctiveness (where different behavior is shown in similar,
but different, circumstances)? According to this model, an
internal (person) attribution will be made when there is low
consensus and distinctiveness but high consistency, otherwise
an external (situational) attribution is made. If consistency is
low, causes are discounted and alternatives sought.
Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression Formation/Management
21. Attributional Bias
• Research has shown that a number of errors/biases occur when
making decisions about one’s own or others’ behavior.
• Fundamental Attribution Error—the strong tendency to explain
others’ actions in terms of dispositional (internal) rather than
situational (internal) causes. In short, we tend to perceive others as
acting as they do because they are “that kind of person”, rather
than because of the many external factors that may have affected
their behavior.
• The Actor-Observer Effect—the tendency to attribute our own
behavior to situational factors, but that others to dispositional
(internal) causes.
• The Self-Serving Bias—the tendency to attribute our own positive
outcomes to internal causes but negative ones to external factors.
Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression Formation/Management
23. “First impressions
last”
First impressions, it is widely believed, are very important.
Initial impressions we make on others will shape the
course of our future relations with them.
24. Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression
Impression Formation
• The process through which we form impressions of others.
• How do we combine so much diverse information about
others into unified impressions?
• We combine this information into a weighted average (each
piece of information is weighted in terms of its relative
importance).
• Factors that influence the relative weighting: (1) the source of
the input, (2) whether the information is positive or negative
in nature, (3) the extent to which the information describes
the behaviors/traits that are unusual or extreme, and (4)
information received first tends to be weighted more heavily
that information received later (this is known as a primacy
effect).
25. Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression
Impressions of others involve both concrete examples of
behaviors others have performed that are consistent with a given
trait—exemplars—and mental summaries that are abstracted
from repeated observations of others’ behavior—abstractions.
Models of Impression Formation
Models that stress the role of behavioral exemplars suggest that
when we make judgements about others, we recall examples of
their behavior and base our judgements—and our impressions—
on these.
Models that stress the role of abstractions suggest that when we
make judgements about others, we simply bring our previously
formed abstractions to mind, and then use these as the basis for
our impressions and our decisions.
26. Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression
The nature of impressions may shift as we gain
increasing experience with them.
At first, an impression consists largely of exemplars
(behavioral examples); but later, as our experience with
another person increases , our impression consists
mainly of mental abstractions derived from observations
of the person’s behavior.
27. Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression
Impression Management
• Efforts by individuals to produce favorable impressions on
others (Self-presentation).
• the deliberate 'bending' of the truth in order to make a
favorable impression
• Persons who can perform impression management
successfully do often gain important advantages in many
situations.
What tactics do individuals
use to create favorable
impressions on others?
28. Social Perception: Nonverbal Communication, Attribution, Impression
Falls into two major categories: self-enhancement—efforts to
boost our own image, and other-enhancement—efforts to
make the target person feel good in our presence.
