Module Overview
Originated by: Dr Felicia Rivera Megret
People learn about others’ feelings and emotions by picking up information they gather from physical appearance, verbal, and nonverbal communication. Facial expressions, tone of voice, hand gestures, and body position or movement are just a few examples of ways people communicate without words.
This module looks at what social perceptions are, how they are formed, what influences perceptions and impressions and what cultural influences to bear on them.
