from Part III - Conclusions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 April 2016
This chapter reviews emerging themes and commonalities woven throughout the preceding chapters. What do we know about interpersonal accuracy (IPA)? We know that people can be interpersonally accurate and that there are many measures of IPA. We know that situational settings and interpersonal context matter in IPA, and people can be trained to improve their IPA. But questions remain. How accurate is accurate? What is the role of motivation in IPA? How do we distinguish between target and perceiver effects in IPA? And where exactly do we stand in terms of IPA theory? I conclude with several suggestions about possible future directions for IPA researchers, including further research on the social outcomes and mechanisms of IPA. Ultimately, I remain enthusiastic about how far we have come in understanding IPA and excited about future IPA endeavors.
