The video explains: 1. Perceptual biases result from individual differences in perception, affecting how we communicate, interpret others' behavior, and evaluate them. 2. Selective attention involves ignoring certain aspects of stimuli and focusing on others, leading to potential misinterpretations. 3. Selective perception refers to seeing and believing what we want to, often idealizing someone we love. 4. Confusing facts with inferences occurs when we interpret behavior based on our assumptions, potentially leading to misunderstandings. 5. Attribution errors, such as the fundamental attribution error and self-serving bias, involve incorrectly attributing behavior to inherent characteristics rather than situational factors. 6. Understanding that perception is subjective and that people perceive different realities can help in effective communication and empathy. 7. Perception checking, a useful tool, involves verifying our interpretations of others' behavior to reduce misunderstandings and conflict.
