description Applies the ecological approach to perception, drawing on the recent theories of J. Gibson (1979) and R. Shaw, M. Turvey and W. Mace (1982) to the social domain. The general advantages of this approach are enumerated, its applicability to social perception is documented, and its specific implications for research on emotion perception, impression formation, and causal attribution are discussed. The implications of the ecological approach for the understanding of errors in social perception are also considered. Finally, the major tenets of the ecological approach are contrasted with current cognitive approaches, and a plea is made for greater attention to the role of perception in social knowing. (100 ref)
