Perception Critical Thinking

According to Jeff Lipschultz, “Don’t Be A Victim of Interview Bias”, he shares many circumstances about Interview Bias and how to deal with them. A bias is an opinion about whether a person or idea is outstanding or inferior, that influence decisions. The article mentions eight biases which are can direct toward interviewees. Some biases can help candidates makes a good impression on the interviewer, such as The Halo Effect Bias, Stereotyping and Generalization Bias; Also, some others can be detrimental to the candidates, such as The Contrast Bias and The Gut Feeling Bias. However, a bias can generate by candidates; for example, Nonverbal Bias. Interviewer base biases on cognitive biases that cause them to evaluate the quality of the candidate

In “Something Instead of Nothing”, Klosterman quests what motivations make people to talk, specifically in a formal interview setting. Some parts of the book write about the famous interviewers to gather their thoughts on the art of the interview. Errol Morris says, “I don’t think we have any idea who we are. I think we’re engaged in a constant battle to figure out who we are. ”(Klosterman)

Perception Exercise III 1. Find three references from the text that glorify machines. a) I stretched out on my car like a corpse on its bier, but revived at once under the steering wheel, a guillotine blade that ... threatened my stomach. b) They thought it was dead, my beautiful shark, but a caress from me was enough to revive it; and there it was, alive again, running on it: powerful fins! c) A racing car whose hood is adorned with great pipes, like serpents of explosive breath-a roaring car that seems to ride on grapeshot-is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace (Greek Sculpture).

In the article Communication Apprehension and Employment Interviews by Joe Ayres and Patricia A. Edwards, the relation between communication apprehension and interviews was assessed by studying three differences between high CA’s and low CA’s: cognitions of the interview, preparation for the interview, and behavior during the interview. In studying cognitions, focus groups were used because it involved interaction and participation. Six focus groups (three high CA’s and three low CA’s) of volunteers, from a public speaking class, were formed. They had to answer and discuss 7 questions about their thoughts referring to interviews. A lot of reports showed that high CA’s had negative thoughts cloud their mind prior to and after interviews.

Perception checking is a good tool to help me understand others accurately instead of jumping to conclusions or assuming that your first interpretation is the correct one. For example, my cousin and I are very close and we always talk on the phone for hours. When I have not heard from her in the few I thought she was mad at me or maybe she does not want to talk to me anymore. So then thought about it and I decided to call her, but when I called her phone was no longer in service. That is when I realize I was wrong for assuming my cousin was mad at me, instead of assuming I should have try another way to get in contact with

Perception affect how we see yourself and the world around us. “If you change the way look at things, the things you look at change”(unknown). This quote tells why we should look with a open mind, not a mind that shuts things out. This is about your perception, and how we see the world through our eyes.

In the book “Asking the Right Questions, A Guide to Critical Thinking” M. Neil Browne and Stuart M. Kelley discuss the ten steps to critical thinking. In the following pages I will apply these steps to a memo that was sent to Mr. Robert Shaw of Triad Insurance Company of Indianapolis and discuss them in detail. The memo was from Ms. Denise Khali, Vice President of Human Resources. D. Khali, personal communication, October 04, 2010.

The recent forum topic of “Perception versus Reality” by Mr. Wedding impugned my liberality. Thinking about my life, I thought I was fairly open-minded; until, Mr. Wedding brought up the point that “no one is completely open-minded.” I am accepting of all nationalities, sexual orientations, religious or lack of beliefs, physical appearances, and mental health. For example, I have a bisexual, atheist, and sensual friend of five years. One thing in particular I noticed about myself during the presentation was how I reacted with the unabridged section outlining stereotypes. Yes, I did laugh at some of the obvious jokes. I also felt unease because I knew I used a few. One stereotype in particular is the “Asian” stereotype. In my little friend

A key observation I notice in the text is the layout of the picture to content. First of all the margins of the text, the outside margins are bigger than the inside margins. By having the margins like this it gives an impression of thightnes to the text and makes it feel like there is no other place for your eyes. That it seamless flowes from one page to another. The visuals of the text are usually separated from the content but still connected in a way by invisible margins. the imagery is so perfectly aline with chapters name that you could understand what they are talking about without reading a word of the text. This part of the whole reading for me was the most enjoyable, How the content flows nicely into the picture makes the reading easier.

Perception is defined as how you look at others and the world around you. Being able to select, organize and intercept information starts the perceptual process. Perception affects the way people communicate with others. An individual’s pattern of thinking can affect their perception of others. Most people communicate best with people of similar cultures.

The Perception of the Perception The subjective nature of perception is an inborn characteristic humanity. However, humans found the ability to still classify knowledge under two categories, objective and subjective. Knowledge in the subjective sense, or subjective knowledge for short, is the individual knowledge that each person gains through personal experiences. Artists often try to portray a scene that has an emotional and psychological effect on the viewer, by drawing on their own experiences and thoughts.

We are constantly thinking in our mind, whether we are wide awake or asleep. When it comes to perception, it is the process that allows our brain to receive sensory information. When it comes to everyday life in the world of perception we as humans can perceive things in our own world, through our own eyes (Cacioppo & Freberg, 2013). If you think about it, we as humans look at things differently than one another. Not everybody is the same, nor do we think the same.

In cases that there is a hidden difference of opinion, a suggestion of politeness is formulated in positive face polite statements and relates to the desire to be liked and express approval (Brown and Levinson, 1987 cited in Maybin & Mercer, 1996). The intention of satisfying the face needs of others while protecting our own is evidenced in this interview’s utterances such as, ‘well, if I see it from that point of view may well be’ (speaker, third page) that indicate a certain kind of polite tone through mediating of opinion. The expression of personal opinions in a ‘down to earth’ interview, that overall ‘touches’ the topic and ‘captures’ the listener’s ear, is re-enforced

Delegation by management within the Healthcare system is one, which allows the staff to develop their skills and knowledge to the full potential without hesitation. This allows each individual the opportunities to communicate with those in management and a dynamic tool for motivating and training the team to realize their full potential and self-accountability.

Based on this definition, in this case, we can clarify the interviewers are stereotypes and the interviewees are the group who are believed to have some certain characteristics or attributes. Some of the negative stereotypes have been shown in the case which are: (1) Any candidate who can’t point out what their weaknesses are, will be considered as being incapable of delegating or lacked awareness of his/ her weaknesses. (2) Interviewers often judge candidates’ nonverbal cues when they’re nervous instead of considering their true
