Barriers to Accurate Perception Read the following dialogue and identify the processes of perception that may be at work here. CORAL: All I had to do was to spend two seconds with him to know that he's an idiot. I said I went to Graceland and he asked what that was. Can you believe it? Graceland! The more I got to know him, the more I realized how stupid he was. A real loser; I mean really. CHRIS: Yeah, I know what you mean. Well, he is a jock, you know. CORAL: Jocks! The worst. And I be I can guess who he goes out with. I bet it's Lucy. CHRIS: Why do you say that? CORAL: Well, I figure that the two people I dislike would like each other. And I figure you must dislike them too. CHRIS: Definitely. CORAL: By the way, have you ever met Marie? She's a computer science major so you know she bright. And attractive-really attractive. CHRIS: Yes, I went out of my way to meet her, because she sounded like she'd be a nice person to know. CORAL: You're right. I knew she's be nice as soon as I saw her. CHRIS: We talked at yesterday's meeting. She's really complex, you know. I mean really complex. Really. CORAL: Whenever I think of Marie, I think of the time she helped that homeless man. There was this homeless guy-really dirty-and he fell, running across the street. Well, Marie ran right into the street and picked this guy up and practically carried him to the other side. CHRIS: And you know what I think of when I think of Lucy? The time she refused to visit her grandmother in the hospital. Remember? She said she had too many other things to do. CORAL: I remember that-a real selfish egomaniac. I mean really.
