Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover: Assessment of Nonverbal Impressions

Title: Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover: Assessment of Nonverbal Impressions
Creator: Georgaki, Konstantina
Abstract: Within the area of Social Psychology many have wondered how accurate the impression formation on the basis of nonverbal behavior is. Non-verbal behavior is a form of communication through dynamic cues like the body, face, pitch and even appearance. According to previous literature, these nonverbal cues can help us infer an individual’s characteristics. Thus, one quickly starts to make attributions. Within the topic of attribution, and impression formation, the literature suggests mixed findings. It is thus important to assess factors like gender and culture that possibly contribute to this controversy.
