"Our understanding is correlative to our perception." — Robert Delaunay
Perception is the awareness of objects or other data through the senses; knowledge, etc. gained by perceiving, insight, and intuition. Awareness is the foundation of effective communication. The following principles may help you in understanding others.
1. No two people see things the same way.
2. Each person thinks, feels, and sees things based on their own past experience.
3. A person does not see things the same way at different times.
4. People learn to see things as they do.
5. People often see things not as they are, but as they want to see them.
6. People tend to complete, fill in the gaps, those things they do not understand.
7. People tend to simplify those things, which they do not understand.
8. A person's self-image will largerly determine what the person sees.
9. The way a person perceives another person is determined largerly by what the person expects to see in the other person.
10. People's emotional reation to others and to themselves often is the barriers to effective communication.
11. A person gains new perceptions only through new experiences.
12. Perception accounts for individual differences.
13. One's perception is highly selective and highly subjective.
Perception is a process through which humans attend to, select, organize, interpret, and remember stimulating phenomena. Although all people are constantly involved in perception and aspects of the process are sometimes similar across individuals (especially among closely related members of families or cultural groups), each person perceives the world in unique ways that are open to a number of influences. It is difficult for us to know what and how each other perceives. Making our perceptions clear to others is an important part of effective communication and mutual understanding.
