Definition

  • Social perception, an element of social cognition, refers to the set of processes by means of which we perceive others—individuals, groups of individuals, as well as symbols—in our social world. Social cognition, in turn, refers to the ways in which we understand our social world. [Source: Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Social Sciences; Social Perception]
