Greetings Alien (ી(΄◞ิ౪◟ิ‵)ʃ)♥

and welcome back to my blog of Human Communication

and in today class,
we learnt Perception

What is Perception ?

Perception is a process of how we perceive things differently and subjectively.
No human can have the same perception of another perception
No matter how similar that perception or idea is
some things still differ.

Perception is also the impression of others give you and what you project to others.

Before getting in about Perception
We should understand the subtopic of Perception to better understand it.
And for Mr Anwari provided Subtopic are...

+What is perception (above explained)
+The perception process
+Processes influencing perception
+Critical perception

The Perception Process

The process or perception are

#1 Sensory stimulation Occurs
• this is where selection of a subject occur via our senses (eye, noses, ears,etc..)
• e.g, we TASTED a pizza

#2 Sensory stimulation is organized
• the subject we collected are being organized
• e.g, after tasted the pizza, we start thinking of the ingredient involved.
• There are two type of principle in interpreting a subject which are:

✹Proximity Principle - Perceived a subject based on the obvious view.(we perceived the pizza having chicken meat on it)

✹Closure Principle - we perceived the subject based on prediction of the subject but in reality is incomplete (we perceived the pizza is chicken pepperoni)

#3 Sensory stimulation is Interpreted
• here, is where we interpreted the pizza
• sometime, our interpretation are not only based on our own experience or knowledge but also external sources.
• E.g, we ask the chef what does the pizza contain, and the chef said contained onion, mozzarella cheese and beef pepperoni. (◡‿◡✿)

Processes influencing perception

There're many kind of sources that will influence our perception.
and for today class,
we will be covering these influence,

✉Implicit personality theory
✉The self-fulfilling prophecy
✉Primacy- recency
✉Consistency
✉Attribution

Implicit Personality Theory

Definition: where our opinion based on a subject's characteristic automatically (m'sia slang) connect with another characteristic via our implied thought

Example: when we saw a pretty girl, we tend to implied that she is also kind and compassionate, etc. (A guy interpretation.. probably..)

This is also known as Holo Effect.

But.. There's also a reverse Halo Effect

Like how a guy see a pretty girl,
when a girl see a pretty girl...

when a girl see a pretty girl, they might implied that she is flirty, probably only friends with guy, etc etc etc...

The self-fulfilling prophecy

Definition: Also know as The Pygmalion effect, is a type of self-fulfilling prophecy where if you think something will happen, you make it happen through your actions or inaction.

Examples: When Mr Anwari told us to answer a question, if success, 5% will be given, This will make the student to believe it and will try to get it.

The Pygmalion effect was also based on a legend from greek mythology by Ovid.
A guy named Pygmalion whom was a Greek sculptor who carved a woman out of ivory.
After the completion of his ivory statue,
but because his statue was so fair and realistic that he fell in love with it.

In time, Aphrodite's festival day came,
and Pygmalion made offerings at the altar of Aphrodite.
There he quietly wished for a bride who would be "the living likeness of my ivory girl".
When he returned home, he kissed his ivory statue,
and found that its lips felt warm. He kissed it again,
and found that the ivory had lost its hardness.
Aphrodite had granted Pygmalion's wish.

Your son, very powderful huh

Pygmalion married the ivory sculpture changed to a woman under Aphrodite's blessing.
they had a son, Paphos, who founded the city called Paphos

Primacy- recency

Definition: With first impression as an early source of perception of the person and using later information to turn the general perception into more specific.

Examples: Met a new friend whom is cheerful, using that as our early information, we can see that friend is a happy person, after spending more time with that person, we obtain later information of that person is actually a hyperactive person.

Consistency
Definition: will get back to you on this one :|

Attribution

Definition: The process of interpreting the meaning behind of what and why people do.

Principles of attribution

#Consensus - do other people behave the same way as the person on whom I am focusing?
#Consistency - do this person repeatedly behaves the same way in similar situation?
#Distinctiveness - do this person act similar ways in different situations?
#Controllability - do this person was in control of his/her behavior?
