1 Content Summary: Social Perception Social Psychology Article Leah Wrisley Department of Psychology, Liberty University PSY 512: Social Psychology Dr. Ogburn January 28, 2024

2 Introduction In this content summary we will dive into social self, perceiving person, attribution theories, social comparison, effects on social media pertaining to children and adolescents. All these concepts have couple things in common, how we view the world and how does the world view us. Self can be viewed in many ways how we think, feel, and view ourselves as a person. It’s our idea of how we think people should view and understand our person. We can think one way about ourselves, but others may have a different view. That view or judgment can either be positive or negative based on that person and their character. Can correlate with the younger generation, how they view and expose themselves for the present world. The younger generation have it the hardest with figuring out that they like and who they want to be growing up. In today’s world where everything is online and at a touch of a button you are connect with others across the world. Children see this and love to make comparisons of what their life is not this way or judging others because they feel as though it’s their job to point out what others don’t have. Can tie in with a business who has put themselves out there on the internet/ or just a local business hoping to get positive feedback but instead having a negative WOMC and up crushing their sales and business. As can you see people have the power of self and the power of world self. Self-Perception and Perceiving Persons

3 Oneself is a hard concept to gather, what do you know about yourself? When you go on an interview and the hiring person asks you can you tell me about yourself, at that moment that questions is one of the hardest ones to answer. The self-concept is made up of cognitive molecules she called self-schemas: beliefs about oneself that guide the processing of self- relevant information (Kassin el al 2021). These beliefs are what we build out foundation of what we think we are as person. Each person does have their own way of thinking, perceiving, loving, talking, etc. That what makes us different from one person to the next, relates to how we feel about ourselves and how others feel about us. In this developing theory of mind, we see the importance of intentionality judgments, of the mind contrasted with observable behavior, and of specific mental states, such as beliefs and desires, that are used to explain intentional behavior (Chadee 2022). People want to understand behavior in other people but a lot of them fail or they get close but lose interest. Understanding other behavior through yourself idea and then sending it out to the world of others then people can pick up on certain behaviors that correlate with yours. Also, it’s important to understand others that don’t share common likes or behaviors like yourself. It’s hard for people to want to explore outside the realm of what makes them comfortable. Social comparison, people love to compare others around them. Most of the time its either what they have and who they are. Social comparisons—comparisons between the self and others—are a fundamental mechanism influencing people’s judgments, experiences, and behavior. Psychological research supports the notion that people constantly engage in social comparisons (Chadee 2022). That’s makes it much easier for the mind to wander and think outside the box but can also hinder them by filling their heads with negative emotions. Whether
