Study Notes
Perceptions
- Perceptions are how individuals interpret their senses to understand the world.
- Perceptions are based on individual experiences, environment, and culture.
- Perceptions include selecting information, organizing it, and understanding it.
- Perceptions influence how individuals behave and make decisions.
Schemas
- A schema is a mental template used to predict and understand situations based on past experiences.
Perception Errors
- Perceptions are often formed quickly, which can lead to misjudgments and incorrect interpretations.
- Perception errors are influenced by time constraints, prior beliefs, and biases.
Attributions
- Attributions explain why people behave in certain ways.
- Internal attributions attribute behavior to personality and individual characteristics.
- External attributions attribute behavior to environmental factors.
- Stereotyping is a form of attribution that categorizes individuals based on singular characteristics.
Ambiguous Information
- Ambiguous information can be interpreted in different ways due to lack of clarity.
- Ambiguous situations can lead to misunderstandings and conflict.
Causes of Perception Error
- Time constraints and limited information lead to decisions made based on available information rather than considering all possibilities.
- Prior hypothesis bias occurs when individuals rely on existing beliefs even if conflicting evidence exists.
- Representativeness bias generalizes conclusions from limited information.
- Selective perception chooses information that confirms personal biases.
- Confirmatory bias seeks out information that aligns with existing views and rejects differing perspectives.
Rationality
- Rationality is based on reason, logic, and sensible thinking.
- Perfect world rationality assumes that people agree on what's rational and see the world in the same way.
- Perfect world rationality is a perception that lacks inclusivity and flexibility.
Differences in Rationality
- Universalism suggests that what is right in one place is right for everyone.
- Relativism highlights the subjective nature of truth, recognizing that truth depends on individual, cultural, and situational factors.
- Bounded rationality acknowledges that individual experiences, values, and perceptions influence what is considered 'rational' for different individuals.
Normality and Rationality
- Normality is a socially constructed concept that defines behavior based on societal norms and expectations.
- 'Normal' and 'abnormal' are relative and subjective and should not be used to judge others.
- Everyone has a unique understanding of rationality.
- Understanding individual differences is crucial for effective communication and decision-making.
