Study Notes
Selective Perception
- People's prior experiences and beliefs influence how they interpret information.
- A historical example is Henry Ford's Model T, which was successful initially but later became outdated because Henry Ford failed to see customer needs beyond basic transportation due to his engineering background.
Similar to Me Effect
- People tend to perceive others more positively if they share similarities.
- Research found supervisors who perceived similarities with their subordinates rated them higher, and the reverse also applies.
First Impression Error
- First impressions have a lasting impact on how we perceive others.
- A study showed interviewers behaved more positively towards applicants they initially rated positively, based on application materials and test scores, even before meeting them.
Halo/Horn Effect
- We tend to develop a general positive or negative perception of someone based on a single positive or negative aspect.
Contrast Effect
- Our perception of someone is influenced by who we compare them to.
Self Fulfilling Prophecy
- Our expectations towards someone can influence their behavior.
- The Pygmalion effect occurs when positive expectations lead to positive behavior, illustrated by an example of a supervisor with positive expectations towards a subordinate leading to the subordinate performing better.
- The Golem effect occurs when negative expectations lead to negative behavior, illustrated by an example of a supervisor with negative expectations towards a subordinate leading to the subordinate performing worse.
- A study involving army basic training showed soldiers with high expectations from their training officer performed better, enjoyed training, and rated their leader more highly compared to groups with regular or no expectations.
To Sum Up
- Key perceptual biases include: Fundamental attribution error, self-serving bias, selective perception, similar to me effect, first impression error, halo/horn effect, contrast effect, and self-fulfilling prophecy.
