Basic Psychological Processes- Introduction

Human motivation and cognition are problems of central concern to the social psychologist. What moves men to act in their social world and how they order and give meaning to this world are fundamental questions he asks in his quest for an understanding of social behavior.

The two classes of determinants that the dormation of human percepts is stimulus factors and behavioral factors.

How people act depends on inner psychological processes and the nature of the external setting.

What ways do men adapt to their environment?
As a human being our senses play an impact on how we adapt to our environment. Our psychological processes based on our cognitive skills such as thinking, reasoning, perceiving, remembering, and imagining.
Words, objects, people, pictures, social settings etc… are stimuli.

Psychological states and processes are a part of your behavioral factors. Social perception is how a person perceive the world Your needs, values, attitude, past experiences etc… are also your behavior factors. It builds on social factors about the person.
Your stimulus factors and behavioral factors are determinants in perception.

Attitudes, as we described them above, as well as the person’s values and interests, are psychological states that can impel the individual to act by virtue of their motivational properties; as a consequence they also exert influence on what he sees, thinks and remembers.
