Perception of Others

The Perception Process We receive information and then select what we can handle. Problems: Repetitious or “loud” stimuli Oversimplification Omitting information

The Perception Process We organize information using a perceptual schemata. This helps us form impressions of others and make generalizations: We organize based on: Physical constructs Role constructs Psychological constructs Interaction constructs Stereotypes A stereotype: Categorizing others on the basis of easily recognized, but not necessarily significant characteristics

The Perception Process We make interpretations and decide how to proceed. How does a perceptual schemata help us? On first impression, when has someone admitted that their first impression about you was wrong? When have you been wrong about another person?

Interpretation Considerations  Degree of involvement. Someone who doesn’t call back after a date hurts… but a waitress giving lousy service is simply annoying?  Relational satisfaction. Problems: Fickle, blame, giving up.  Past experiences. How much “baggage” we apply to current situations.  Assumptions. Whether or not you generally view people as good or rotten? Expectations. Realistic or not realistic? Previous knowledge of others. Ex. Hearing about a rude instructor. Personal mood. Having a different perception when you are angry versus when you are happy.

Punctuation Punctuation: Determination of causes and effects in a series of interactions. “Punctuate” the following situations: a. A person not calling back after a first date. b. A student copies test answers from the student next to him. c. A waitress gives you lousy service. d. A child beats up on other kids. Do we punctuate situations too quickly?

Attribution Attribution: Attach meaning to behavior. Degrees of process: *Judging ourselves and judging others. *Self-fulfilling prophecy. Sometimes meant as protection. *Clinging to first impressions. *Assuming that others should be like us. *Clinging to negative impressions.

The Key to More Accurate Perceptions Perception Checking: 1.Describe the behavior/action/ communication observed 2.Choose two possible interpretations for the situation 3.Ask for clarification

Empathy What is the difference between empathy and sympathy? What do you need to build empathy? 1.Open-mindedness 2.Commitment 3.Imagination Two “Challenging” Tips: Try to use the word “you” as little as possible. Try to look to your own feelings, insecurities or fears to explain your perception of another’s actions.
