Human communication-Perception

              Before the class start, we revise what we learned last week. As what is communication, the areas of human communication. The areas of human communication include intrapersonal communication, interpersonal communication, small group & organizational communication, public communication and mass communication. But I just remember intrapersonal and interpersonal communication, first is about talk to mirror and second one is interpersonal is talk to another. Sorry Sir, i just remember this two, i will revise it all.  And also the components of human communication and the purpose of human communication.

                             

Basn                     Based on this picture, have many answer for how many leg of the elephant? Someone think that have 4, 6, 8. In human communication, we called perception. Perception is the impression that others give you and what you project to others. The process of perception first is the sense organs are stimulated, second is organized according to various principles an third is subjective process. The first stage is about you perceived smtg meaningful and not perceiving what is not meaningful. The second stage have proximity and closure principle. Proximity is people or msg are close to another one. Closure is smtg is in reality unclosed or incomplete.  The third stage is involving evaluations on the part of the perceiver.

In ad                    In addition, have 5 categorise about the processes influencing perception.  First is implicit personality theory, the halo effect, means individuals who have good traits and another one is reverse halo effect means individuals who have bad traits. The self-fulfilling prophecy is which one make prediction and then proceeds to fulfil, also known as pygmalion effect. Primacy-recency is use early information to provide yourself with a general idea of what a person is like. Consistency is you expect certain things to go tgt and other  things not to go tgt. 

Attri                    Attribution is the process through which you try discover why people do what they do and even why you do what you do.

Principles of attribution

1.Consensus (do other people behave the same way as the person on whom I am focusing?)

2.Consistency (do this person repeatedly behaves the same way in similar situation?)

3.Distinctiveness (do this person act similar ways in different situations?)

4.Controllability (do this person was in control of his/her behavior? )

                 Last part is about the critical perception, include analyse impressions, check perceptions, reduce uncertainty and increase cultural sensitivity.
