Unit 1 Discussion: Perception

In this unit, you are learning about how perception affects social situations. According to your textbook, we use four types of cognitive schemata (schemas) to make sense of perceptions: prototypes, personal constructs, stereotypes, and scripts. We apply schemata to organize and interpret experiences in our lives. The schemata shape our perceptions and influence how we communicate.

For this discussion board:

· Read chapter 2 in your textbook to find information to help you understand the concepts discussed in this assignment.

· Find a recent example in the media that features a stereotype. (Your choice of media can be a commercial, scene in a movie/TV show, social media video, etc. that you saw in the past year. )

· Explain how the stereotype influenced the social situation in the media clip.

· Please include an APA reference for your media clip. (To find the proper way to format resources, use Academic Writer link on the left sidebar of Blackboard.)

· In response to your peers, briefly share an experience where your perception influenced communication in a social situation. (Please respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial posts.)
