Answer :

Suggested answer:

- Attempts to interpret what is seen are influenced by personal characteristics of perceiver.

- Attitudes, motives, interests, past experiences shape the way we perceive.

- We often interpret others’ behaviour based on our own behaviour.

- Personal expectations can distort perception.

- Characteristics of target (e.g. volume, appearance, motion, sound, size), physical or time proximity of targets, and

similarity of targets will influence what we perceive.

- Situational factors such as location, light, heat, events, work setting, social setting can influence perception.
