The article presents a review of domestic studies of social perception among teachers. The social and professional significance of this phenomenon for teachers; the relationship of gender and age, sociodemographic and individual psychological characteristics of teachers and individual mechanisms of social perception are described. Aspects of the relationship between the phenomenon of social perception and professional competence were identified. The studies of the phenomenon of social perception in future teachers were reviewed. The article also presents generalized data of studying the mechanisms of social perception. Particular attention was paid to the fact that the identification mechanism is included in the empathy mechanism. Reflection was defined as a professionally important quality for a teacher, stimulating the research, creative process, thereby leading the teacher to new tasks of professional activity and acting as the main means of supporting the subjectivity of students. Attraction was studied, mainly, on a wide sample without correlation with professional activity. At the same time, it was highlighted that this mechanism was identified as a factor in the development of moral and environmental values of the teacher. Despite a wide range of studies devoted to the phenomenon of social perception and its mechanisms, according to the results of a review of domestic studies of social perception among teachers, it was concluded that there is insufficient empirical study of the mechanisms of understanding and perception of the personality and behavior of a student among teachers as a result of professional stress, as well as a lack of research related with the possibilities of including social perception in preventive measures for the formation of professional stress.
