In our reading assignment this week, Individual Differences in Person Perception, we learn about how our individual perceptions influence the way we see the world and each other. In fact, our text states, "To every experience, each of us brings our own schemas, attitudes, and expectations. In fact, the process of interpretation guarantees that we will not all form exactly the same impression of the people that we see. This, of course, reflects a basic principle that we have discussed throughout this book-our prior experiences color our current perceptions."

Think of a time when your own expectations influenced your attributions about another person. What type of expectations did you have and what type of attributions did you end up making? In hindsight, how accurate do you think that these attributions were?
