PSY 302 Reality Versus Perceptions
Prior to starting this activity read Chapter 8 in the course text and review the Instructor Guidance and any relevant announcements.
Our text suggests that objective reality is often significantly different from our perceived reality and is an important variable to consider when making decisions within an organization. In addition, attribution theory describes how people create the explanations for their own and others’ actions, as well as for the outcomes of applied behaviors. Based on these two premises, formulate an analysis about how the development of our realities explain human behaviors within organizations and industry that can essentially affect rational decision making.
Your paper should include the following:
Summarize the differences between perceived and objective realities and how our perceptions negotiate what we believe to be true.
Discuss how the following affect one’s perception of reality and rational decision making.
Attribution theory
Bias
Conjunction fallacy
Primacy and recency effects
