Question

Two people see the same thing at the same time yet interpret it differently. In this situation, factors that operate to shape their dissimilar perceptions reside in the ________.

Answer 1

A) perceivers

Step-by-step explanation:

Individual differences in perception explain why two or more people seeing the same thing may interpret the situation differently. The situation may be the same for both individuals but different cultural factors, behaviors, personalities and moods will make them see different versions of the same events.

E.g. if you are tired and bored, and someone tells you a joke, you might not consider it funny, while someone else who is happy might consider it very funny. Something similar happens when you are seeing something a fixed object. If you are depressed or under a lot of stress and someone asks your opinion about a new TV or a dress (or any other good), your opinion will probably will be unfavorable.

The correct answer is A) perceivers .

Step-by-step explanation:

Perception (from the Latin perceptio) consists of receiving, through the senses, images, sounds, impressions or external sensations. It is a psychic function that allows the organism to capture, elaborate and interpret the information that comes from the environment.

It is important to differentiate between the stimulus, which belongs to the external world and generates the first effect in the knowledge chain, and perception, which is a psychological process and belongs to the internal world. Arguably, the stimulus is the physical, mechanical, thermal, chemical, or electromagnetic energy that excites or activates a sensory receptor.
