WHO ARE YOU? HOW DO YOU SEE THINGS?
• Perception is the process of being aware of and understanding the world
• Form, challenge, and reinforce ideas and beliefs
• Influences how we choose to interact with others
• Massive amounts of stimuli that must be processed

SELECTION
• Perception begins with those messages we choose to focus on and respond to
• Filter out things by being selective
• We can only pay attention to a small portion of stimuli
• Sensory overload; selection helps prevent it

SELECTIVE ATTENTION
• The process of focusing on one thing, while not paying attention to anything else
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPnCbUK3QGY
• Focusing on one event often involves ignoring events that are less expected

SELECTIVE EXPOSURE
• Exposing self to beliefs, values, and ideas that are similar to our own
• Netflix, Spotify, Facebook, Twitter
• Preference for messages that support personal positions / values (Fox News, MSNBC)
• Mood management (movies, music, etc.)
• Communicators play a role in choosing the types of messages they receive (ditch the negative; feel the pain)

SELECTIVE PERCEPTION
• When individuals filter what they see and hear to make it suit their own needs, biases, or expectations
• Relevance to self (hearing your name called, car you drive, etc.)
• Focusing on anticipated messages (Smith and Hubs)

SELECTIVE MEMORY
• Information we retain from interactions
• Memory is dynamic (evolve), creative (reconstructive; bits and pieces), and social (jointly construct memories of shared experiences)

ORGANIZATION
After stimuli is selected, we must organize them so they construct meaning.
• Schemas: mental structures developed from experience (road maps; classification tool)
• Prototypes: best example of a category
• Stereotypes: generalizations of a category
• Interpersonal Constructs: opposing terms (friendly vs. hostile; more complex with experience; cognitive complexity)
• Scripts: sequences of action that define situations (protocol)

COGNITIVE COMPLEXITY
• Numerous (many interpersonal contructs)• Abstract (more generalized; better for predicting behaviors)• Organized (links various constructs; defines along many
dimensions)• Capable of handling contradictions / inconsistencies (prevents
oversimplification of persons and or situations; Rate My Prof)

INTERPRETATION
• Giving meaning to information• Ambiguous situations can be interpreted various ways
![Page 11: PERCEPTION. WHO ARE YOU? HOW DO YOU SEE THINGS? Perception is the process of being aware of and understanding the world Form, challenge, and reinforce.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5697c01d1a28abf838cd0b81/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
INFLUENCES ON PERCEPTION
• Culture: Standpoint Theory (group affiliations impact perception)• Media: defines what is acceptable; media literacy• Fields of Experience: perceptual baggage• Language: connotative meanings

SELF AND COMMUNICATION
• Self-concept: general perception of who we are; past, present and future selves
• Possible selves: visions of what we may become• Self-esteem: an assessment of individual worth• Self-image: mental picture of one’s self
![Page 13: PERCEPTION. WHO ARE YOU? HOW DO YOU SEE THINGS? Perception is the process of being aware of and understanding the world Form, challenge, and reinforce.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5697c01d1a28abf838cd0b81/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONISM
• How we internalize and use social values to guide how we see ourselves and others; how we interact with others
• Observe and internalize others’ reactions to us
• Cooley’s looking-glass self: self arises from interpersonal interactions and perceptions of others
• How we appear to others
• How appearance is judged
• Developing a sense of self through judgment of others

GEORGE HERBERT MEAD
• Not born with a self• We develop self through perceptions of IMPORTANT relationships
with significant others• Generalized other: viewpoint of the entire society• “I” is the doer, the actor, the performer; in the moment• “Me” is the critic and judge; reflects on the actions of the “I”

RELATIONAL SELF
• Process of constantly becoming who you are as a result of relationships with others
• People behave differently when they are with different people (cultural, familial, social contexts)
• Communication helps each achieve a self that would otherwise not be realized
• Communication creates identity; responsibility to interact with others so they can achieve healthy self identity
