What affects how accurately you perceive others?

The general answer to what affects how accurately you perceive others is your preconceptions and notions. If you wish to be an "impartial" observer, you can train yourself past what you've seen, what you've experienced, and what you've learned. You can reach a point where you respond to what is actually in front of you rather than "impressions" based on what you "know" and "feel" about things. In the mean time, who your are, where you come from, and what you have learned will, by and large, determine how you perceive others. There are a number of crude examples that suggest what is offered in this answer is correct, or points in the right direction. One is the way Will Smith reacts on the shooting range in the film Men in Black. All the other participants fire at everything there (the "monsters"), and Officer James Edwards (Smith) only takes the one shot (at the little girl). He saw things differently than the others, saw "past" appearances there to something that he felt was more important in the situation.


Why do you pick up learned behaviors and do people who have been exposed to the same things pick them up differently?

Learned behaviors are picked up through observing the behaviors of others. Different people pick them up differently because as individuals, we have our own perceptions, personalities, outlooks toward the behaviors we observe, and reactions to those behaviors. For example, children growing up in an abusive family might become abusive while their siblings might not.


How does your socialization affect your sociological perspective?

The way you view things in society (like what is right or wrong and what is appropriate behavior for females vs males) is because of the way you were raised to perceive things and also experiences you went through growing up.

What is an impaired perception of reality?

Perception has to do with the senses, especially sight and hearing; our perception of reality is our observation of the world or environment in which we live. If that perception is impaired, this means that we do not perceive reality accurately. We may perceive things that are not really there, or fail to perceive things that are there, or perceive things in an altered way. Impaired perception of reality, if it is severe, is a symptom of schizophrenia, although there are other ways in which the perception of reality may become impaired.
