The Importance of Perception 3.1 Explain why understanding perception is important.
How individuals respond to people, objects, and environments depends largely on the perceptions they
have about them. Although we tend think what we see, hear, and taste is “real,” perceptions actually
shape our understanding of the world. Thus, what we perceive as true or accurate may not reflect
another person’s reality. If you live with someone or are someone on the autism spectrum, you likely
understand that you and others don’t necessarily share similar perceptions. For example, some people
on the spectrum struggle with filtering specific sensory stimuli, so sounds or lighting that are common in
public settings are uncomfortable, even confusing, for them (Morton-Cooper, 2004). If what you perceive
is different from others’ perceptions, you may be tempted to assume that you are correct and that
others are wrong. However, thinking this way not only is unfair, it negatively affects your ability to
interact effectively with others. Communication and perception are intertwined. When we
communicate, we don’t just respond to others’ words; we respond to our perceptions of the way others
look, sound, and smell and sometimes how they behave. For example, when we perceive people as
being polite, we are more likely to agree to their requests (Kellerman, 2004). Recognize, however, that
others may view what you see as “polite behavior” as overly formal or perhaps rude. We noted in
Chapter 2 that identities play an important role in communication. They also influence and are
influenced by perception. Thus, just as our perceptions of others influence how we communicate with
them, our perceptions and communication affect how they see themselves. Let’s take our previous
scenario as a case in point. How might Mateo’s or Charee’s perceptions affect Professor Wolfe’s
perception of herself? If most people perceive Professor Wolfe as Charee does – as amusing and open –
and therefore respond to her by laughing and spending time with her, then she probably sees herself
positively. On the other hand, if most people respond as Mateo did and consequently chose to have little
contact with her, Professor Wolfe may perceive herself more negatively. As you might expect, then,
perception and identity are also interwoven. On the one hand, Mateo’s perceptions of Professor Wolfe
affect her identity. At the same time, how the professor views herself and others influences how she
perceives and responds to the world around her. If she has a positive self-image, Professor Wolfe may
perceive that others like her and become more outgoing, she might be more optimistic and see the
positive aspects of a situation more re
