Fomichenko A.S. FEATURES OF SOCIAL PERCEPTION [№ 2 ' 2017] In psychological and pedagogical aspect the problem of interpersonal perception has been seen by many Russian and foreign psychologists and teachers. According to obtained data person's images of other people, recycled and summed up, transform into information, which regulates the production of person's certain forms of behaviour. In other words, in the process of interpersonal perception and understanding of human, a certain set of attitudes, generalizations, and standards allows attributing persons to a specific category in the process of interaction with other people. Among socio — perceptual mechanisms, that is, the ways in which people understand interpret and appreciate other people, one can distinguish the mechanisms of empathy (understanding another person by emotional entering in his feelings), projection (unconscious vesting another person with person's own motives), identification (understanding and interpretation of another person by identifying himself with him), reflection (a process of understanding other person by thinking for him), stereotyping (the perception and evaluation of others through the distribution the characteristics of a particular social group) and attribution. In the attributive theories the process of interpersonal knowledge is reduced to the desire of people to build a certain system of interpretation of the behavior of each other, particular its reasons. The result of interpersonal perception, according to them, is a subjective judgment about the causality of the behavior of another person or a whole system. Such judgments are called “causal attribution”. |
