social perception
—the study of how we form impressions of other people and how we draw inferences about them.
Social perception is also about:
explaining why others behave as they do.
You can watch Teen Mom or Real Housewives, Keeping Up with the Kardashians or The Bachelor. Why are these shows so popular?
Because we enjoy trying to figure people out.
Nonverbal communication
refers to how people communicate, intentionally or unintentionally, without words. Facial expressions, tone of voice, gestures, body positions and movement, the use of touch, and eye gaze are the most frequently used and most revealing channels
Nonverbal cues serve a variety of functions in communication. They help us to:
express our emotions, our attitudes, and our personality (and to perceive those same characteristics in others). For example, you express "I'm angry" by narrowing your eyes, lowering your eyebrows, and setting your mouth in a thin, straight line.
