HOW DO WE PERCEIVE OUR
SOCIAL WORLDS?
Explain how our assumptions and prejudgments guide
our perceptions, interpretations, and recall.
Our preconceptions guide how we perceive and interpret information. We construe the
world through belief-tinted glasses. "Sure, preconceptions matter," people agree; yet they
fail to fully appreciate the impact of their own predispositions.
Let's consider some provocative experiments. The first group examines how predisposi-
tions and prejudgments affect how we perceive and terpret information. The second group
plants a judgment in people's minds after they have been given information to see how
after-the-fact ideas bias recall. The overarching point: We respond not to reality as it is but
to reality as we construe it.
Perceiving and Interpreting Events
Despite some startling biases and logical flaws in how we perceive and understand one
another, we're mostly accurate (Jussim, 2012). Our first impressions of one another are
more often right than wrong. Moreover, the better we know people, the more accurately
we can read their minds and feelings.
But on occasion, our prejudgments err. The effects of prejudgments and expectations
are standard fare for psychology's introductory course. Consider this phrase:
Did you notice anything wrong with it? There is more to perception than meets the eye.*
