What do people actually experience in the moments they describe as being seen or met?
Do people know how others view them? An empirical and theoretical account.
Adjacent
A review found that people judge their general reputation more accurately than the distinctive impressions particular others have of them.
What it doesn’t show
The reviewed studies did not directly measure the behaviour carrying interpersonal feedback or manipulate that feedback. The proposed account of how people form these judgements therefore remains an explanation to test, rather than a demonstrated causal sequence.
Summary based on the abstract and the full text’s theoretical discussion, qualifications and conclusion.
