Social cues in context the interdependence between social cue senders and receivers

Abstract

Most of the research exploring social communication has focused on the 'sender' perspective, examining how and why people choose to produce the cues they send to others. This thesis explores the experience of the social interaction from the 'receiver' perspective. Broadly, this work examines how receivers perceive and interpret social cues and make social judgements, depending on senders' states and intentions. It relies on data from both laboratory-based experimentation and from naturalistic face-to-face interactions.
