Bias + Errors (perception) = Misperception by Group 5 !!!

Salam to everyone!!

Tarraaa !! We come with a new “souvenir” (assignment) but in a different situation or causes.
Why? It is because this is not called “punishment”. It is an order! It comes with 3 assignments at one time. Refusing will cost us marks. HeHe. here we begin..

Perception.
Perception is what one perceives is a result of interplays between past experience, one’s culture and interpretation of the perceived. There are two types of perception which are phenomenal consciousness and psychological.

In other words :
Phenomenal consciousness : full of rich sensations that are hardly present when eyes are closed.
Psychological consciousness : well researched and measured.


Get it ??
Sometimes, people tend to misperception to others without knowing well that person.

Don’t judge the book by its cover, but you have to judge the book by it’s contents, the size of the book, the author and also where did you bought the book! :-P
If you judge the book merely by its covers, as a result, misperception ( error in perception) will occur.


Example of error (bias) in perception :

1) Stereotyping – belief that all members of specific group share similar traits and behaviour
Example : Soft boys ( “lelaki lembut “ ) . Most of people think and believe that soft boys are Homosexual. ( Tetttttt !!! ) . Not all soft boys like that, isn’t it? Don’t simply jump into conclusion.

2) Projection - The process of selecting information, that support our individual viewpoints while discounting information that threatens our viewpoint. People selectively interpret what they see on the basis of their interest, background, experience and attitude.

Example, when someone is a perfectionist to do the assignment, they assume that all their group of members will make the assignment with perfectly.



How to overcome this kind of perception?

Here we provide you some advises..

1) Try to be close with people.

Before we judge someone, it is better if we get close with that person. It will prevent you from misperception him or her. For instance, Hafiez has set up in his mind that all women are annoying. That’s why it is hard for him to mix around with women.
Our advise is what if he try to mix around with girls and knowing them through.

2) Take more time and avoid instant judgement about others.

Most of lecturers believe that boys are lazy rather than girls. Its totally wrong. Not all boys are lazy. Lecturer has to take more time to evaluate his/her students. If she or he simply evaluate their student without any research, the tendency for lecturer to have a biasness of perception is high.

3) Try to motivate ourselves

We have to motivate ourselves everyday in order to avoid the bad perception. We must always remember that nobody is perfect. We have to motivate our self by positive thinking. Before we pointing others, look at ourselves 1st. The suitable time to motivate ourselves is before we sleep.

4) Be more observation and collect more information about others.

Just imagine like this : you bring a chair and sit in the middle of the market. Then try to observe the people’s behavior in the market. ( if the seller of vegetables scold u to move, ignore her !). The next step is try to analyze why people act like this and like that, happy and sad, rushing ,shouting , etc. They have their own reasons why they act like that.

5) Study OB with Miss Peesha :-)

If you want to know how to make a good perception, better you ask Miss Peesha. She will explain more about it. Besides that, you will enjoy to be a part of her students. It`s interesting! Try 1st! :-P
