14. 5. Recall
Remembering the event later
Recall will be consistent with previous
stages
May add or subtract information to fit
our expectations (rules, schema)
16. Self-fulfilling prophecy:
◦ We make predictions about our
communication outcomes
◦ However, we also influence those outcomes
with our behaviors
◦ We then use this outcome to “prove our
point”
17. Implicit Personality Theory:
◦ We use observations of others to draw
conclusions
◦ (Similar to stereotyping, but based on
personality traits, not group identity)
18. Perceptual Accentuation
◦ We perceive what we expect (or want) to
observe instead of what actually occurs
19. Primacy vs Recency
◦ First impressions strongly influence later
interactions
◦ More recent impressions may cause us to
reinterpret our perception
21. Attribution:
◦ Our attempts to determine motivation for
behaviors
Errors:
◦ Self-serving Bias
◦ Overattribution
◦ Fundamental Attribution Error
22. Increasing Accuracy
Perception checking
◦ Describe what you observe
What did you see / hear?
Concrete terms
◦ Ask for confirmation of your perception
Do not tell, ASK
