Perception and

Communication

The Process of Human Perception

• The active process of

creating meaning by

selecting, organizing, and

interpreting people,

objects, events, situations

and other phenomena

Selection

• We select to attend to certain stimuli based

on a number of factors:

▪ The qualities of the phenomena

▪ Self indication

▪ Our motives and needs

▪ Culture

Organization

• Constructivism – we organize and interpret

experience by applying cognitive structures

called schemata

▪ Prototype

▪ Personal construct

▪ Stereotype

▪ Script

Interpretation

• The subjective process of explaining our

perceptions in ways that make sense to us

• Attributions

▪ Locus

▪ Stability

▪ Specificity

▪ Responsibility

Interpretation Continued

• Attributional Errors

▪ Self-serving bias

▪ Fundamental attribution error

Influences On Perception

• Physiology

• Age

• Culture

▪ Social location

▪ Roles

• Cognitive abilities

▪ Cognitive complexity

▪ Person centeredness

• Self

Implicit Personality Theory

• A collection of unspoken and sometimes

unconscious assumptions about how

various qualities fit together in human

personalities

Guidelines for Improving Perception

And Communication

• Recognize that all perceptions are partial

and subjective

• Avoid mind reading

• Check perceptions with others

• Distinguish between facts and inferences

error

and acting from social perspectives

• Arises in communication with others

▪ Perspective of particular others

Attachment Styles

and others are and how to approach

relationships

The Generalized Other

• Reflect the views generally held by others in

society

▪ Race

▪ Gender

▪ Sexual orientation

▪ Socioeconomic class

How Are Perspectives of the Generalized

Other Revealed To Us?

• We learn them as we interact with others,

who have internalized cultural values and

pass them on to us

• We learn them through media and

institutions that reflect cultural values

• The institutions that organize our society

communicate them by the values they

uphold

Other Perspectives of Self

• The self is multidimensional

• The self is a process

• Social perspectives are subject to change

▪ Socially constructed views

▪ Variable social views

Guidelines for Improving Self-Concept

personal growth

is formed

▪ You need information about yourself

• Set goals that are realistic and fair

• Seek contexts that support personal change

others are unlikely to discover on their own
