People can not fully understand the situation that they are viewing. Perception checking skills are something I in fact need to improve.

    Seeing things in other people perspective is crucial to keep a serene relationship between people. For instance, failure to consider another person’s point of view is one of the main causes of prejudice in the world. Prejudiced people judge preconceive opinions that are not based on reason or actual experience. For example, a prejudiced person might look at a homeless person with disdain and say, “Get a job or get lost!” From the prejudiced persons point of view, the homeless person is unwilling to work, lazy, and

  • Analysis Of Seeing By Annie Dillard

    1038 Words  | 3 Pages

    Assumptions influence our perceptions because when assumptions are made, it is often the case that there is not enough information for the assumptions to be accurate. Dillard gives an example that relates to this in her essay when she says, “[We] see what [we] expect” (Dillard 20). When an assumption is formed about a person or situation, then things that agree with that assumption is what is looked for, so that is what will be perceived. This may create inaccurate impressions. Another problem with making assumptions is that it is assumed that there is consistency to others’ behavior and often the focus on negative things about others. When it is assumed that there is consistency to others’ behavior, it is assumed that after seeing them act one way once or twice, they will always act like that. (Beebe 77). These examples relate to another idea that Dillard talks about in her essay. Dillard says, “Peeping through my keyhole I see within the range of only about thirty percent of light that comes from the sun…” (21). This agrees with an idea that people tend to ignore information when making perceptions and only looking at a small portion of the big picture and make perceptions based off of that. An example that relates to all of these would be if someone expects a person to be rude, then whenever those two people interact, rude behavior will be all that is looked for and all that is given any thought. People often form perceptions off of assumptions and small pieces of the big picture which oftentimes makes those perceptions that a person might have

  • Interpersonal Conflict: The Lens Model Of Conflict

    1312 Words  | 3 Pages

    Perception is always viewed differently between parties and is attributed to each person’s view of self, and each person’s view of the other. These attributions are also linked to the context of the conflict; past events, current events, and future projections ( ). “Each person has lens that gives that he or she a particular perspective; they are looking at the conflict with a different lens, just as people use different types of glasses to see”( ). My brother, Andrew, perceived his friends and family confrontation as a negative attack on him. Andrew assumed that his friends hated him and wanted him out of school and my mother and brother did not trust him and were going to believe his friends over him. Whereas, my brother, Andrew’s friends and family perceived that situation completely different, Andrew’s friends noticed a change in his behavior and knew about his drug use, and out of love and deep concern told my mother and oldest brother. My family then became worried and called Andrew out of concern and love as well. My brother, Andrew did not understand why he needed help and my family and his friends did not understand why he did not want to get help; my brother, Andrew’s lens and their lens distorted the situation in opposite ways (

    In a real life situation one may subconsciously use perceptual choice when seeing and meeting other people, such as, “through the process of selective attention, the brain picks out the information that is important to us and discards the rest” (Folk & Remington, 1998; Kramer et al., 2000). For a better understanding of how the mind works, an experiment was done to confirm the perceptions that people create. Three subjects were chosen to prove that people are mindlessly creating judgment and generalizat...

  • Personal Narrative: How People Make Mistakes

    Each person in this world makes mistakes. Nobody is at all perfect. There is no such thing as someone having perfection. Anybody around myself makes mistakes. The false move may be big or may be small. No matter how small or big a mistake is everyone makes them. I personally do not feel like I have made an enormous mistake yet. Does not mean it will not happen, it will happen. I have made plentiful small mistakes, for examples, staying up to late on Sunday night watching Netflix. Waiting to do my homework last minute. Embarrassing myself somehow, everyone at least some point in their lives embarrass themselves. Blaming someone else for my mistakes, I blame my sister, Erica on things that I have done. Spending money on useless things, I have

  • Overcoming Ridicule: The Three-Stage Approach

    383 Words  | 1 Pages

    Subtle ridicule is certainly something that I’ve seen happen to people around me, and how these people deal with it is precisely how I believe it should be dealt with. My classmate—let’s call him “Fintan”—used to get playfully picked on by his fellow “friends”, mostly in a joking matter, but, if Fintan took it the wrong way, the jokes could have hurt a lot. How did he get along with these snide comments? There were three main stages that I had identified, firstly, acceptance. Fintan understood that in teasing, stereotyping, or insults, the ones that hurt the most are the ones with a bit of truth in them. For example, “You’re fat” was a common joke-insult back in grade 6. Fintan was a studious student, and he had little to no time for exercising, or any other activity besides homework, studying, eating, and sleeping. He had managed to realize that that was the truth behind the swipe, and this realisation shone out in his latter stages. The next stage was purely a mental process, where I imagine Fintan isolated the blip of truth that his perpetrator(s) brought out, then replaced the negative connotation with one that he could improve himself with. Continuing off the aforementioned example, Fintan repeated the truth to himself, and realised that he had

    ...presence, prejudices and beliefs as sources of error of judgment, we must examine our first experiences. Because the idea that we need a lot of information to trust our judgments may be inaccurate. Often the effort to achieve this additional information gives us the illusion of certainty, makes us more vulnerable to error. Now, all rapid cognition must be based on our experience needed of cultural preset ideas.

During selection, one might exhibit selective distortion, where they only pay attention to information that fit their beliefs. This can cause them to miss important information. Likewise, in the interpretation stage, a person may have a self-serving bias, which is when someone attributes a good thing to themselves and blame bad things on something else. All of these problems make communication more challenging.

  • Perception Essay

    1376 Words  | 3 Pages

    The way that each individual interprets, retrieves, and responds to the information in the world that surrounds you is known as perception. It is a personal way of creating opinions about others and ourselves in everyday life and being able to recognize it under various conditions. Each person’s perceptions are used as a kind of filter that every piece of information has to pass through before it determines the effect that it has or will have on the person from the stimulus. It is convincing to believe that we create multiple perceptions about different situations and objects each day. Perceptions reflect our opinions in many ways. The quality of a person’s perceptions is very important and can affect the response that is given through different situations. Perception is often deceived as reality. “Through perception, people process information inputs into responses involving feelings and action.” (Schermerhorn, et al.; p. 3). Perception can be influenced by a person’s personality, values, or experiences which, in turn, can play little role in reality. People make sense of the world that they perceive because the visual system makes practical explanations of the information that the eyes pick up.

  • Analysis Of Perception In Relationship With A Brother

    You cannot judge a book by its cover and that is why perception is so huge in my relationship with my brother. Perception is huge because an impression you give some people may not be true to whom you or that relationship actually entails. A prime example of this is when I am in my brothers corner coaching him in a wrestling tournament. I might yell at him, hit him in the head, or swear at him to get him ready for his match mentally. People might think of this as mental abuse, and that I am a bad person. When in reality, it is just a method to help my brother and without knowing him personally you could not understand why I would consider doing that. That is why personalities play such a huge role in perception because my brother and I seem
