Perceptions research is a field of study that focuses on understanding how individuals interpret and make sense of the world around them. This research area examines how people's perceptions are influenced by factors such as their beliefs, attitudes, past experiences, and social context. It aims to uncover the cognitive processes involved in forming perceptions and how they impact decision-making, behavior, and emotions. Perceptions research is interdisciplinary, drawing on insights from psychology, neuroscience, sociology, and communication studies to explore the complex and subjective nature of human perception.
