Perception is a cognitivethe process by which an individual receives sensitive information about objects in the world around him. Without a doubt, the perception of man by man occupies a special niche in this area, and its study requires consideration of specific patterns and other features.
Perception characteristics
The perception of man by man is, firstly,the process of accumulation of sensory experience, active interaction with the object, aimed at obtaining the maximum of significant information about it. Differing in constancy, it does not change depending on the angle and some other external conditions accompanying it. However, it is worth noting that the latter play an important role in such a process as the person’s perception of his interlocutor. Thus, the changing game of shadows and light makes the perceiver endow each time the object of study with new, often uncharacteristic properties. The distance does not have the last impact on the distinction of proportions, shape, on the drawing of the details of the object.
Effects of human perception by man
Studying people's perception of each other,dwell on the effects that form in the mind a more detailed image of the object under study. In this connection, a category such as social perception, which takes into account the peculiarities of the mutual perception of various social groups (including the perception of man by man), has been formed and developed in psychological science.
Social perception mechanisms are used tomaximum accurate interpretation of the data. These include the following: the effect of novelty, primacy, stereotyping, halo, identification, social identity, casual attribution. The effect of the novelty effect is manifested mainly in the fact that the new information received by someone about the perceived person plays a greater role than it was given to him earlier. The effect of primacy plays a diametrically opposite role, it serves as an explanation of why it is the first impression that imposes such a significant imprint on the image of a perceived person created by us. Casual attribution allows you to endow an individual with certain motivation and characteristics not previously presented.
Conditions of successful perception of the interlocutor
The perception of man by man is a complex process.Its success and effectiveness will be high in the event that its participants differ in due level of formation of the necessary competencies for this. Thus, the perception of a person by a person requires each high level of empathy (that is, the ability to empathize and understand the emotional state of a partner) and social attraction, which includes positive social attitudes.
