Abstract

Impression formation is the process by which individuals perceive, organize, and ultimately integrate information to form unified and coherent situated impressions of others. Internalized expectations for situated events condition what information individuals deem is important and worthy of their attention. Further, these expectations condition how individuals interpret this information. In face‐to‐face interaction, social cues including others’ physical appearance and verbal and nonverbal behavior, and the social setting in which the exchange takes place, combine with information in perceivers’ memories to influence the ways in which they initially form impressions of others and themselves. These initial impressions serve as the basis for subsequent attributions.
