Perception: the process of interpreting the messages of our senses to provide order and meaning to the environment. Sort out and organize the input received by our senses. People frequently base their actions on the interpretation of reality that their perceptual system provides rather than on reality itself. If you perceive your pay to be very low, may seek employment elsewhere, but in reality, you are the best-paid person in your department (won"t matter if you are unaware of it) Person perception is some of the most important perceptions. Has 3 components a perceiver, a target that is being perceived and some situational context in which the perception is occurring: these influence the perceiver"s impression of the target.
