Strangers in a Strange Lab (eBook, ePUB)

How Personality Shapes Our Initial Encounters with Others

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Can we predict how well -- or how poorly -- two strangers will get along? According to social psychologist William Ickes, the answer is yes. Drawing upon relevant research findings from his 30-year career, Ickes explains how initial interactions are shaped by gender, race, birth order, physical attractiveness, androgyny, the Big Five dimensions, shyness, and self-monitoring.
