What does it truly mean to perceive another person — and how does that perception shape the way we act toward them? Person Perception and Interpersonal Behavior is a landmark anthology that brings together contributions from leading psychologists, sociologists, and psychiatrists to examine the complex cognitive and social processes underlying human judgment and interaction. The collection systematically uncovers the mechanisms by which individuals form impressions of others, detailing how these impressions influence attitudes, communication, and social behavior in both everyday and experimental contexts. Edited by Renato Tagiuri and Luigi Petrullo, this volume stands as a foundational text in social psychology, drawing on empirical research and theoretical frameworks that were shaping the discipline at mid-century. The contributors argue that person perception is not a passive act of observation but an active, interpretive process deeply embedded in social and cultural context. Written with scholarly rigor yet accessible to a broad academic audience, it raises questions that remain urgently relevant: if our perceptions of others are so profoundly constructed, how reliable are the social worlds we believe we inhabit?
