What have we Learned from New Analytical Models of Interpersonal Perception?
How a ccurate are our initial impressions of others? Do some individuals form mor e accurate impressions of others? Are some individuals more accurately perc eived? If so\, how do we assess and identify these individuals? Answering t hese and related questions requires the development and use of different an alytical (componential) models. However there is a paradox inherent in mode ling accuracy — different componential models of accuracy are necessary\, b roadly equivalent\, and yet often incompatible. This paradox is illustrated with different levels of analysis and components of interpersonal percepti on and the implications for personality\, individual differences\, and inte rpersonal perception are discussed. At the same time\, examining and integr ating\, when feasible\, different models provides novel insight into the le vels of accuracy\, important and critical individual differences with respe ct to accuracy\, and the process through which accurate impressions are for med.
Jeremy Biesanz conducts research in personality\, interpersonal perc eption\, accuracy\, personality coherence\, and quantitative methods.
Annually the Department of Psychology hosts a Colloquia Series throughout the academic year.
