Abstract
Each of the four preceding chapters has approached the problems of person perception from a slightly different angle. I shall not presume to pass judgment on the merits of the papers, each of which I have found stimulating and constructive, but shall concentrate rather on a few of the theoretical issues which confront us when we attack person perception as a problem for research.
