Factors affecting perception
  Factors that influence perception relate to the
  perceiver , perceived and situation. All these factors
  are of two kinds:-
• Internal(endogeneous) factors
• External(exogeneous) factors
Internal factors
  These factors reside in person concern . These include
  one ’s needs , desires , personality and experience .
• Needs and desires: an individual ’s perception about
  stimuli is influenced by inter alia, his needs and
  desires at that time. Perception varies depending upon
  variations in his/her needs and desires from time to
  time.
• Personality: closely related to needs and desires is the
  personality of the perceiver , which affects what is
  attended to perceived in the given situation. As
  mentioned earlier, research studies suggest that secure
  individuals tent to understand or perceive others as
  warm and self-accepting individuals perceive
  themselves as liked , wanted and accepted by others.
• experience: experience and knowledge serve as basis
  for perception . While one’s successful experience
  enhances his/her perceptive ability ,failure erodes
  his/her self confidence. Successful experience also
  helps perceiver understand stimuli with more
  accuracy.
External factors
  The external factors relate to what is to be perceived
  and situation . These are size , intensity , frequency ,
  status , etc.
• Size: The principle of size says that the larger the
  object ,the more is the probability that it is perceived .
  Size attracts the attention of the individual . A full
  page spread advertisement attracts more attention
  than a few lines in a classified section . The reason is
  not difficult to seek . The size establishes dominance
  and enhances perceptual selection.
• Intensity : Intensity is closely related to size . The
  intensity principle of attention states that the more
  intense the stimuli , the more likely it is to be
  perceived . As an example , a loud noise or strong
  odour will be noticed more than a soft sound and
  weak odour . Following the intensity principle , the
  superiors may yell at their subordinates to gain
  attention . Advertisers also use intensity to attract
  and gain the consumer’s attention.
• Frequency /Repetition : The repetition principle
  states that a repeated external stimulus is more
  attention getting than single one . It is for this reason
  that advertisers go for repetitions advertising to gain
  the customers attention to their product.
• Contrast : As per contrast principle , the external
  stimuli which stands out against the background
  will receive more attention . for example , plant safety
  signs with black lettering on a yellow background or
  with white lettering on a red background are more
  attention –attracting.
• Status: Status held by an individual also influences
  his/her perception about things or event. Researches
  suggest that people with high status often exert more
  influence on the perception of an individual as
  compared to those holding low status .
• Movement : The movement principle says that people
  pay more attention to a moving object than the
  stationary ones . People will be attracted more by a
  running train than one standing on the platform.
How to improve perception

By now ,you have learnt that perception precedes
behaviuor. How one (say boss)will behave with
others(say subordinates)depends on how the former
perceives the latter . More accurate the perception , the
better will be behaviuor and vice versa. In accurate
perception distorts behaviour and , in this lies the need
for and importance of improving perception . Perception
can be improved by making various attempts.
• Perceiving one self accuracy : In order to perceive
  others accurately , one first needs to perceive one self
  accurately . Therefore , one needs to improve more
  awareness about himself/herself . Frequent and better
  interaction with peers; free frank and open
  communication with others and mutual trust are
  some commonly adopted practices for perceiving one
  self more accurately.
• Improving one’s self concept : when people
  successfully accomplish what they want , it develops
  a sense of self regard and self esteem . It is called ‘self
  concept’ . Research studies suggest that people having
  self concept tend to perceive others more accurately .
  Abraham Maslow also contends that self actualising
  people have more accurate perception about
  themselves and others than those who are not self
  actualising . It is also indicates that correct
  perception about oneself helps perceive others also
  more accurately.
• Be empathetic : empathy means to be able to see a
  situation as it is perceived by other people . In a way ,
  it is like putting your feet in another’s shoes. Looking
  at a problem from other’s point of view enables the
  person to perceive the other side of the problem.
• Having positive attitudes: positive attitude makes
  one’s perception positive or more accurate . Hence ,
  the managers need to try to overcome their personal
  bias , get rid of any negative feelings ,if any , they
  have of others. These enhance an individual’s
  perceptual skill.
• Avoiding perceptual distortions : some factors such as
  hallo effect, stereotyping,attribution,first
  impression,etc. distort one’s perception about things
  or problems. Therefore, sincere and continuous efforts
  should be made to guard one self against such biases.
  This ,in turn, improves one’s perceptual ability.
• Communicating openly : experience suggests that
  some times perception gets distorted due to
  communication gap or /and inadequate
  communication. In such case , effective
  communication needs to be developed to ensure that
  true and right message reaches at the right place and
  at the right time . This will enable to know the
  problem in a better perceptive which , in turn, will
  improve person’s perception about the problem.
