Describe the impression formation processes for how we evaluate other people: self-fulfilling prophecy, personality theory, primacy-recency effects, consistency, and attribution of control. Explain how these processes contribute to errors in judgment about others and how you might avoid such perceptions

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that comes true because you act on it as if it were true. Personality theory is the system of rules that tells you which characteristics go with which characteristics. Primacy-recency effects suggest that you are more affected by what comes first or most recently. Consistency is the tendency to maintain balance among perceptions or attitudes. Attribution of control is a process by which you focus on explaining why someone behaved as he or she did on the basis of whether the person had control over his or her behavior.
