So the next class continues.. We learn about perception, which is in chapter 2. Perception is continuous process of life, the impression that others give you and what you project to others. Perception is one of the most important element in communication. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DadIBPZVaNE

The video above shows us that we cannot judge too quickly and everything about perception.

The lecture shown us some pictures and ask us about our perception. Some students in the class may see more than one thing, and some may see differently. Here are some of the pictures that the lecture shown us.

So what can you see from this picture? Some may say it is a cup? Some said it has two faces facing each other. From my first sight I only saw the two faces, until the lecture told us it has another picture in it only that I knew.

From the left, some may see a guy playing saxophone, and some may see a lady's face. And from the right, some may see an old lady, and some may see a sweet lady looking back. I only saw  the lady looking back, but until the lecture told us about the nose of that old lady, then i only realise.

We also learn that the 5 things that will influence your perception.

Processes influencing perception
1. Implicit personality theory
=> Your own opinion about something else or someone's characteristics. This is also known as halo effect.

2. The self-fulfilling prophecy
=> People who have bad traits may make other thinks that they are bad, and may bring a bad influence to you. But this is only what you think. It might not be true. This is known as reverse halo effect.

3. Primacy-recency
=> It makes prediction and then proceed to fulfillment

4. Consistency
=> Expected things from someone to have characteristic like that.

5. Attribution
=> The process through which people discover why people do what they do.

So lastly the lecture put us into small group and questioned us "How to make perception more accurate?" So all of us came out with a lots of different answers. The answer that the lecture gave are analyse impression, check perception, reduce uncertainty and increase culture sensitivity.
