Perception in Interpersonal Communication
Stage One: Stimulation
Selective perception
Selective attention
Attend to those things that you think you anticipate will fulfill your needs
For example: when something isn't interesting to me, I tend to space of and not hear what the person said.
Selective exposure
Exposing yourself to messages that will confirm your existing beliefs, objectives, etc.
For example: I look at reviews before and after I order something to determine if the thing I ordered is working.
Stage Two: Organization
Proximity
Physical Closeness
Similarity
Things that are physically similar are perceived to be together
Contrast
Things that look different from each other, are assumed not to be together
For example: my sister and I don't look much a like so people don't think we are related
Stage Three: Interpretation-Evaluation
Influenced by your experiences, needs, wants, values, and beliefs
Ethnocentric judgements
Stage Four: Memory
Information stored so you can retrieve it later
For example: I am not good at remembering dates and when things happened but I can remember a secret or personal information someone told me.
Stage Five: Recall
Streotypes
Recalling info based on your stereotype
Inconsistencies
Not likely to recall info that is inconsistent with your stereotype
Contradictions
Most likely to recall info that makes you think about your stereotype
