Document Summary
The process with which individuals detect and interpret environmental stimuli. Factors include their background, their experience and what they currently believe or think example: after one has a child, they begin to notice baby-related things more. The same behaviour can be interpreted differently based on the situation or environment the person is in. Perception differs of similar behaviour based on the context example: drinking in a bar is normal, but drinking in class is not. * how you interpret things differ; your world-view filters how you take things in. The theory that when we observe when seems like a typical behaviour by an individual, we attempt to determine whether it is internally or externally caused. When individuals observe behaviour, they attempt to determine whether it is internally or externally caused. Process in which individuals explain the causes of behaviour and events. Internally : your own choice / decision affecting yourself.
