Document Summary
It can be very upsetting when your favourite hockey team is losing. It can be upsetting when your p-value is 0. 06: people who aren"t sports fans wouldn"t understand, non-scientists would be confused! Our experience of social life is based on perception. Reality is constructed and tied into our schemas, concepts and values. Some things we use are symbolic to our shared reality. Money is not just a piece of paper, it has value! People are motivated to achieve mutual understanding or shared reality with others to: 1) establish, maintain, and regulate interpersonal relationships. We must think the same way to communicate: 2) perceive themselves and their environments as stable, predictable, meaningful, and potentially controllable. Being unsure of what is going on can be unsettling. The individual"s psychology is shaped through engagement with and participation in the culture: culture. Language, political/legal system, media, educational/caretaking practices, norms & values.
