ABSTRACT
Psychologists have been interested in how accurately one person perceives another for at least 6 decades (e.g., Asch, 1946; Cronbach, 1955; Dymond, 1949; Funder, 1995; Harackiewicz & DePaulo, 1982; Rosenthal, Hall, DiMatteo, Rogers, & Archer, 1979). Much past research in person perception has centered on the perception of another person’s personality traits, such as leadership or extraversion (e.g., Asch, 1946; Bernieri, Zuckerman, Koestner, & Rosenthal, 1994; Funder, 1995; Kenny, 1994; Vogt & Colvin, 1998).
