Uncertainty reduction Definition: The process of monitoring the
social environment to learn more about self and others.
Interaction gain information and form impressions of others.
The more they learn about each other and find commonalities, the less uncertain they are about each other

Observing others
Initial social perceptions or first impressions of
others are usually made from observations
These impressions influence how we act
toward them
![Page 5: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We make similar judgments about people we
meet online: based on their profile, pictures,
nicknames, comments …
![Page 6: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Implicit personality theories
Sometimes we make judgments of other
people based on implicit personality
theories
Definition: assumptions about which physical
characteristics and personality traits or
behaviors are associated with one another.
![Page 7: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Halo effect
• When you judge others based on implicit
personality theories your perception is
based on the halo effect
• Definition: to generalize and perceive that a
person has a whole set of characteristics
when you have actually observed only one
characteristic, trait, or behavior.
![Page 8: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Two types of halo effects:
Positive halo: admit positive characteristics to others
Negative halo: impute negative characteristics to
others

Perceiving Others’ Messages Our observations of others and our
emotional state certainly affect how we perceive others. They also tend to influence how we perceive the messages others send to us.
Two additional factors that influence how we perceive others’ messages are
context shared language
![Page 12: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Context The better we know someone, the more
likely we are to share an understanding of the context in which our messages are sent and received.
When we don’t know someone well or when we are speaking with several people or a large audience, there are expanded opportunities for messages to be perceived differently.
![Page 13: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Shared language
Even when both participants speak the same language, they might not enjoy a “shared language” in terms of how each one perceives specific words, visual images, and nonverbal cues.
To clarify, the sender might use a word with which the receiver is unfamiliar, ambiguously use a word that has multiple meanings, misuse a symbol, or use a personal definition of a word.
![Page 14: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Understanding how observations and emotional states, as well as context and shared language affect our perceptions of others and the messages they send is a first step in improving your perceptual accuracy.
![Page 15: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Improving the Accuracy of Social Perceptions
![Page 16: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Question the accuracy of your perceptions
![Page 17: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Seek more information to verify perceptions
try to collect additional information so that your perceptions are better grounded
talk with the person and ask for the information you need to become more comfortable
![Page 18: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Realize that your perceptions of a person will change over time
People often base their behavior on perceptions that are old or based on incomplete information.
![Page 19: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Use the skill of perception checking
verbalize the perception and see whether others agree with what you see, hear and interpret.
3 steps :(1) watch the behavior of the other person(2) ask yourself “What does that behavior mean to me?(3) describe the behavior and put your interpretation into words
![Page 20: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SUMMARY
![Page 21: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Observing Others: first impressions, use the profile and other pictures that people post to judge somebody we meet online…
Using Stereotypes: - it is human nature to name, label, and organize in order to make sense of the stimuli.- stereotyping can lead to prejudice and discrimination
![Page 22: Chapter 2 (perception of others)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5561a779d8b42ae1538b4fd0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Emotional State: the factor that affects how accurately we perceive others is our emotional state at the time of the interaction
Perceiving Others’ Messages:- we interpret the content of the speaker based on the context- even when both participants speak the same language, they might not understand each other.

Improving the Accuracy of Social Perceptions: Question the accuracy, seek more information, perceptions will change over time, perception checking.
