This volume, dealing with important aspects of perception and how these perceptions are evaluated and interpreted, brings together contributions from many of Europe's leading experts. It will be of interest to those involved in theoretical design and empirical research in general psychology, clinical and health psychology, organizational, work, and traffic psychology, developmental psychology, and psychodiagnostics. This complex topic is discussed from four main perspectives: -- Information, perception, and memory looks at general aspects of perception and cognitive information processing during judgment formation -- Interaction, dialogue, and interpretation examines judgment formation as a form of dialogue and interpersonal interaction, with special emphasis on psychotherapy -- Assessment, judgment, and application concentrates on applied procedures and approaches, especially with regard to diagnostics -- Self, environment, and evaluation takes judgment formation as a process of integration within the social context and in specific social situations.
