Study Notes
Perception of the Self and Others
- Perception is the process by which we become aware of objects, events, and people around us.
The Five Stages of Perception
- The five stages of perception are: Stimulation, Organization, Interpretation-Evaluation, Memory, and Recall.
Stimulation Stage
- At the stimulation stage, our sense organs are stimulated.
- We engage in selective perception, which includes selective attention and selective exposure.
Organization Stage
- We organize our perceptions by rules, schemata, and scripts.
- We organize the information our senses pick up.
Interpretation-Evaluation Stage
- Interpretation-Evaluation is greatly influenced by experiences, needs, wants, values, and beliefs.
- Judgments about members of other cultures are often ethnocentric due to our schemata and scripts being created based on our own cultural beliefs and experiences.
- Women have been found to view others more positively than men.
Memory Stage
- Our perceptions are put into memory, where they are stored to be retrieved at a later time.
- Information is stored in memory as "cognitive tags".
- Schemas act as gatekeepers, allowing and distorting certain kinds of information.
Recall Stage
- We access the information stored in memory.
- We recall information that is consistent with our schema, not specific information.
- We tend to forget information that is inconsistent with our schema.
- We may recall information that drastically contradicts our schema, forcing us to think about its accuracy.
