Problem
By the time you get to this activity, you will have learned more about YOU - your personality and the things that you value.
Now it's time to reflect on HOW your personality and values have influenced your perceptual process and thus, have led to the decisions that you have made throughout your life.
Reflect by completing the following tasks:
Think about one real life example of a time that YOU judged someone because of a negative perception, or an inaccurate attribution that you made, or a stereotype that you held.
Briefly describe the situation and explain what your perception was or what kind of inaccurate attribution you made or what stereotype you believed at that time.
1) You may certainly make reference to the common shortcuts used in judging others in your explanation.
2) How did this perception/attribution/stereotype affect your behaviour towards the other person?
3) How would you change your behaviour going forward after learning about this week's concepts and now that you understand yourself a little more deeply?
