Description:... This volume brings together critical analysis of the phenomenon called interpersonal expectations--a sub-area of social psychology that studies how the expectations of one person affects the behavior of another in an interactive setting. It is divided into three major sections: (1) real-world applications of research on interpersonal expectations, such as in the courtroom, classroom and operating room; (2) the mediation of interpersonal expectations through verbal and nonverbal behavior; and (3) the emerging methodological and statistical techniques for understanding the implications of interpersonal expectations. Critical commentary and analysis by leading scholars in the field are presented.
