In the late 1980s, Professor Ickes and his colleagues developed a research method that enabled them to measure how accurately people can infer the specific content of other people's thoughts and feelings. Since then, they have used this method to obtain answers to many different questions about "everyday mind reading." For example, what is the upper limit of human mind reading ability? Are women better mind readers than men? Are friends better at "reading" each other's thoughts and feelings than strangers are? Are longer-married couples better at "reading" each other than newlyweds are? Are martially violent men worse mind readers than nonviolent men? Do children who are poor mind readers have more adjustment problems than children who are good mind readers? Does ESP play a role in everyday mind reading? All of these questions will be addressed in this talk.
