When several different people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times, you may see different things. The following are about some of the factors that lead to these different senses.
(1)Each person’s senses of others are formed by his or her own cultural condition, education, and personal experiences.
(2)Sometimes senses differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we’ve observed. It is not necessarily true that person sense is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may center mainly on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same standard to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.
(3) Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don’t see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective sense. Selective sense is obviously more difficult when contradictory(矛盾的) information is particularly obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore the stimulus “He’s basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting.” We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information--- “ All kids get into naughty behavior. Taking a book from bookstore isn’t such a big deal.” We can change the meaning of the contradictory information---- “It wasn’t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.”
