Social Perception Research Topic Proposal

Social personal perception is the way a person perceives and understands issues. This is an interesting topic to do research because people are different, and they perceive issues from an array of viewpoints. For my research proposal, the topic I would like to investigate is the determinants of social perception. My main objective is to identify and determine the various factors that determine how people perceive issues. I have seen how people, cultures, nationalities can perceive the same action in different ways, such as kneeling during the National Anthem at professional football games. Upon preliminary research, some literature that I read claimed that both internal and external factors determine a person’s perception. My research shall highlight on pointing out the various internal and external factors, as well as clarifying how these factors shapes and forms the perception that the person shows.

This is an important psychological area of research because it would help to establish a deeper understanding of why people differ and tend to misunderstand each other when it comes to perceiving issues. It is an area of research that can help people understand and embrace each other despite their differences in perception. Moreover, I think most people are unaware of their inherent biases and people tend to retreat to their corners where it is safe. My goal is to get a better understanding and inform the reader to consider another point of view.
