Perception Checking Procedure

Perceptual check statements are messages you create to check your understanding of someone's speech and behavior.

Perceptual checking slows the process of perception and communication and helps us give better control over both. Perceptual checks include the ability to explain what happens in certain situations, provide multiple interpretations of events and behaviors, and ask yourself or other people questions for clarification. Some of this process occurs in our minds, and some happens in interactions. Let's see an example of interpersonal conflict. Stefano and Patrick are roommates. When Stefano saw Patrick leave the room with a suitcase, he was playing video games in the living room. Patrick did not say goodbye, Stefano had to understand the encounter, perceptual check can help him do this. First, he needs to try to explain what happened now (it has not been evaluated yet). This is possible by asking yourself "What's wrong?" In this case, Patrick did not talk or shake goodbye when he left.

Perceptual testing is a strategy that helps us monitor our reactions and perceptions of people and communication. Several internal and external strategies can be used for perceptual testing. Regarding the internal strategy, we examine the various influences we learned in this chapter and are always confident with confidence with confidence that "what is the impact of what you are thinking now?" Our perception gives us a better understanding of what is happening in the perception process. With regard to external strategy, you can use other people to check your own recognition.

Perceptual checking is a tool that helps you to understand others accurately, not assuming the initial explanation is correct. Because its purpose is mutual understanding, perceptual examination is a cooperative means of communication. In addition to being able to get a more accurate perception, you can also minimize defense by preserving your opponent's face. "I know what you are thinking - rather than showing or implying perceptual testing in a more respectful way." I am qualified to judge you without help I know nothing. "
