Perception - Defined
Perception is the process by which we
select,
organize, and
evaluate
the stimuli in our
environment to make
it meaningful for ourselves

Patterns that Help Us Organize Stimuli
Opposites – “pros and cons”
Cause-and-effect relationships – “If the clients asked lots of questions, that means I’ll make the sale”
Schemas – “my view of what a boss does”

Schemas - Defined
9 -8
Schemas are mental maps of different concepts, events, or types of stimuli that contain both the attributes of the concept and the relationship among the attributes
Once established, theydetermine what stimuli we attend to and remember

Social Identity Theory - Defined
Based on the belief that people tend: to perceive themselves and others in terms of social
categories rather than as individuals (social categorization)
to assess the relative worth of groups as well as individuals by comparing them (social comparison)
to perceive and respond to the world not as detached observers but in terms of their identity, which depends on the social groups to which they belong (social identification)

Drawbacks of Perception
Prevents us from taking in everything we should
Makes our interpretations questionable
Promotes stereotypes

The process of perception limits, selects
and organizes stimuli that would
otherwise overwhelm us

D.I.E. ModelTeaches people to distinguish among
description, interpretation, and evaluation of
cultural behavior
Description: observed fact Interpretation: inferences Evaluation: judgments/feelings
Description is the safest way to avoid errors and
misattributions9 -17Organizational Behavior: An Experiential Approach 8/E

Attribution Theory - DefinedAccording to attribution theory, when
people observe behavior, they attempt to
determine whether it is internally or
externally caused
People look for information about
consensus, consistency, and
distinctiveness to decide on causation9 -18Organizational Behavior: An Experiential Approach 8/E
