Chapter 3:<\/span> Perception and Listening in Interpersonal Communication<\/h2>\n\n\n

Perception and listening encompass the processes by which people attend to, organize, interpret, remember, evaluate, and respond to information available interpersonal interactions. This chapter describes perception and listening, including the different ways that people engage in listening during interpersonal interactions, different listening styles, and features of active listening. In addition, the chapter examines attributions, or how people explain the causes of behavior, with an emphasis on attribution biases in close relationships. Barriers to perception and listening stemming from biases, stereotyping, and alcohol intoxication are also discussed. This chapter offers recommendations for overcoming subjective biases in perception and listening, protecting valued relationships through adaptive attributions, and combating the ba7rriers to perception and listening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
