Interpersonal Perception


This page serves as a gate to a tutorial on the topic of Interpersonal Perception.   Most of the content is taken from my 2019 book Interpersonal Perception: The Foundation of Social Relationships, and recent research on these topics. The book is a complete revision of my 1994 book Interpersonal Perception: A Social Relations Analysis. I would ask you not to cite any of the web pages in this tutorial but instead cite the 2019 book or the original source.

I suggest to begin with Nine Basic Questions .  All of these pages are currently being revised and updated.   I thank you for your patience and am hoping these pages will be completed by April 15.

The Interpersonal Perception Wikipedia Page. This page needs updating! Why don't you do it?


These pages were originally designed by Matt Beloin in 2002 for the 1994 book. They were modified by David A. Kenny starting in 2016. Katherine Kenny assisted in creating graphics.
