experiences

The perception process is impacted by many variables such as:

These variables can result in perceptual errors.
Let’s take a look…

Perceptual SetsPast experiences make us more likely to
perceive something in a particular way.

The Perception Process: Three Parts
![Page 8: Chapter 2:](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568167b3550346895ddd0317/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Step #1: SelectionObvious stimuli has a greater impact
IntenseRepetitiousContrastive Motives (stimuli which is most important to
you)

Step #2: Organization Differences in the perceptual process also
occur due to the way each person organizes stimuli.

Figure Ground PrincipleThe part we focus on is called the figure.The remaining stimuli make up the ground.

Step #3: Analyzing and DefiningNarratives
We all create life stories based on past experiences
Defining eventsWe use these stories to form a framework for how
we define or attach meaning to each new specific event.
InteractionWe gain reinforcement from others to solidify or
uphold these meanings.

Other Problematic Perceptual Tendencies
Self-serving bias= judge others more harshly than ourselves
First ImpressionsNegative BiasStereotypingRelational Satisfaction
Halo vs Horn Effect

Perception Checking A three step process which enables us to take
on the viewpoint of another person.1. Describe the behavior of the other person2. Develop at least two possible
interpretations (Cognitive Complexity)3. Request clarification from the other person
on how to interpret the behavior.

Example1. When you turned down my request for a
date (behavior), 2. I wasn’t sure if you did not want to go out
(interpretation) or if you were just busy (2nd interpretation),
3. how do you feel about going out? (clarification>
