Understanding Perception in Psychology

The document discusses perception and person perception. It defines perception as how individuals interpret their sensory input to make sense of the world. The perceptual process involves sensation, selection, organization, and translation of stimuli. Factors like attitudes, motives, experiences, and expectations in the perceiver and characteristics of the target and situation influence perception. Attribution theory examines how people make judgments about others based on internal versus external causes. The Kelley covariation principle and shortcuts like selective perception, halo effect, and stereotyping also impact person perception in organizations such as during interviews, performance evaluations, and setting expectations.
