Book excerpt: Life becomes difficult for the judges of others when they are presented with a number of facts about someone which all point in different directions, or which point in no direction at all. Originally published in 1984, this volume brings together research on four major issues involved in judging people: the relationship between person perception and personality; inference from multiple cues; methodology of measuring accuracy of perception; and selection for employment. These issues are not only of increasing importance in the study of psychology today, they are also of central relevance to social and business conduct. This edited collection will be a valuable resource for the student of either.
