Definition of social perception

The social perception is the study of the social influences on perception. It is worth mentioning that the same qualities can cause different impressions because they interact between them dynamically.
The prints have a certain structure, where there are central qualities and peripheral qualities. Each of the parties form a whole; omit or add a quality change the overall perception.
In the case of the perception of people, several factors have influence on perception: expectations compared to the person with which it interacts, the motivations (which are the man who perceives meets the other what he would like to meet), goals (they have influence on the way how the information is processed), familiarity and experience.
There are several effects that change the social perception. Depending on the value of the pulse, a perceptual enhancement may take place (when the value of a pulse is large, it is perceived more great than it is) or the Halo effect (if a person is seen positively about some of its features, it then will tend to produce a distortion in the perception of itself and to see themselves in a positive way for what happened to her other features).
According to the emotional significance of the impulse, the perceptual defense (against threatening impulses) or the perceptive perceptive (facing pulses to meet a need or proving advantageous).
The stereotype (assigning attributes based on group identity), bias (the individual way to make judgments on people or things while moving away from the common social perception) and projection (the effect of own emotions when assessing persons or situations) are also the effects changed the perception.
