Document Summary
Explicit processes: correspond roughly to conscious thought, are deliberative, effortful, relatively slow, and generally under our intentional control. Implicit processes: comprise our unconscious thought; they are intuitive, automatic, effortless, very fast, and operate largely outside of our intentional control. Dual-process models: models of behaviour that account for both implicit and explicit processes. Person perception: processes by which individuals categorize and form judgments about other people. Thin slices of behaviour: very small samples of a person"s behaviour. Self-fulfilling prophecies: occur when a first impression (or an expectation) affects one"s behaviour, and then that affects other people"s behaviour, leading one to confirm the initial impression or expectation. False consensus effect: the tendency to project the self-concept onto the social world. Naive realism: we tend to assume that the way we see things is the way that they are, that our perceptions of reality are accurate and that if people"s perceptions differ from ours, they are wrong.
