Q

perception

A

we react to the world based on our own perceptions:
- “reality” - as something is perceived = that is real for me
- self: own perception and definition of self!

all behavior attempts to satisfy needs based on their perception of reality
- behavior doesn’t look satisfying, b/c person is doing best they can with what they have within perception, if fully perceive experience = different choices

understand behavior through the individual’s vantage point
- /frame of reference
