what is perception?
A process by which individual organise and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to the environment.
perception is an important factor in human behaviour
• Perceptions vary from person to person.
• Different people perceive different things about the same situation.
• But more than that, we assign different meanings to what we perceive. And the meanings might change for a certain person.
• • One might change one's perspective or simply make
things mean something else.

perception process
• selection of stimuli •organisation of stimuli• interpretation of stimuli
selection of stimuli• selection is the first process in perception
• the process of filtering information received by our sense is called selecting stimuli.
• we are selecting the stimuli through our senses, like...
• Sight
• Sound
• taste
• smell
• touch
• External
• Nature• Location• Color• Size• Contrast• Movement• Repetition
• Internal
• Learning• Inner needs• Age
difference• Interest• Ambivalance
several factors are there which influence selective attention
ORGANISING
• organisation is the second stage in the perception process.
• which helps gain the perceiver’s attention. • The stimuli received must be organized so as to
assign some meaning to them. • This aspect of forming bits of information into
meaningful wholes is called the perpetual organization.
• there are three dimentions to the perceptual organisation
Field-ground differentiation
The tendency to distinguish
and focus on a stimulus that
is classified as figure as
opposed to background.

ProximitySimilarity
• Perceptual constancy• • Perceptual constancy is one of the advanced forms of
perceptual organization.• According to this principle, individuals’ perception of
certain elements in objects like size, shape, color, brightness, and location is constant and does not change from person to person.
• For instance, even though the picture of an apple is printed in black and white, we still perceive the color of the fruit as red.
• Perceptual constancy is enhanced by learning. Learning helps individuals perceive certain patterns of cues in a similar way and this leads to perceptual constancy.
• Perceptual Context• The context of the situation also plays a major role
in shaping the perception of individuals.• Different contexts convey different meanings to
people. • For example, if a manager pats his twoyear-old
son, it is considered a sign of love and affection. However, if he gives an employee a pat on the back, it is considered a sign of appreciation for the work done by the employee.
interpretation
• after the selection and organising the stimuli has to interpret them in order to make a sensible meaning.
• perceiver cant draw any meaning without interpretation.
• it is a subjective and judgemental process.
• perceiver uses his assumption of people,things,object, and situation.
• he makes attributions,uses his judgemental skills distorts information,adds/delete information brings his own subjective feelings,opinion,and emotions,in interpreting and drawing the measures
• Factors influencing PerceptionFactors in the perceiver• Attitudes• Motives• Interests• Experience• Expectations

Factors in the Target• Novelty• Motion• Sounds• Size• Background• Proximity• Similarity
Factors in the situation• Time• Work Setting• Social Setting
Attribution Theory
When individuals observe behavior, they attempt to determine whether it is internally or externally caused.
There are 2 types of attributions that people make:
Dispositional attributions, which describe a persons behavior to internal factor such as personality traits, motivation, or ability.
Situation attributions, which attribute a persons behavior to external factors such as equipment or social influence from others.
Perceptual errors/distortions
stereoptyping
stereo typing• Stereotyping refers to the generalization of the
characteristics of all members belonging to a certain group.
• People judge others based on the perception they have about the group to which these individuals belong and do not consider the unique characteristics of the person in question.
• For instance, politicians are considered to be manipulative and corrupt.
• In the organizational context, stereotyping often takes place based upon gender, race, ethnicity, etc.
The Halo Effect
• In the halo effect, the perceiver tends to judge a person depending upon a dominant trait which can be either positive or negative.
• The various traits could be intelligence, sociability,aggressiveness, etc.
• The halo effect is generally found in performance appraisal.
• Often appraisers rate the performance of employees based on one particular trait rather than by taking all aspects into consideration.
