INTERPERSONAL PERCEPTION AND
COMMUNICATION LABORATORY
What's going on with the picture?
Welcome
to the Interpersonal Perception and Communication Laboratory at Harvard
University. We represent a growing center of research aimed at understanding
the ways in which social factors interplay with perception, cognition, and
behavior. Our broad research interests include the accuracy of spontaneous
social judgments from "thin slices" (brief observations) of behavior,
the cognitive and behavioral effects of stereotyping, nonverbal and verbal
communication in real-life settings, and the role of social and structural
group memberships in interpersonal relations. We examine these phenomena at
multiple levels of analyses ranging from the neurological and physiological to
sociocultural. Please follow the links to find out more about the people,
research interests, and ongoing studies in the lab. Undergraduates, please note
that we are always recruiting new students. Should you be interested in the
research outlined here, please contact us!
