Abstract
2 experiments were performed to investigate effects of several visual stimulus factors and observer differences in person perception. Traits of persons were judged after observers viewed films of social interactions. Extreme differences were found in deaf and hearing observers' judgments of persons when static views served as stimuli, but when social interactions served as stimuli, only some traits showed differences between observer groups. Visual information regarding the apparent deafness of an interactant, as well as interactive role and gestural forcefulness showed interaction effects with observer group in several instances. Results were discussed within frameworks of differences between deaf and hearing Ss' judgments, and methodology of typical impression formation and person-perception studies.
