Kinicki – Chapter 02 #1
Learning Objective: 02-02 Explain perception in terms of the four-stage social cognition processing sequence.
2. (p. 24) In the social perception model, what is the third stage of social perception?
A. storage and retention
B. retrieval and response
C. encoding and simplification
D. comprehension
E. decisions
The four stages in order are (1) selective attention/comprehension, (2) encoding and simplification, (3) storage
and retention, and (4) retrieval and response.

Kinicki – Chapter 02 #2
Learning Objective: 02-02 Explain perception in terms of the four-stage social cognition processing sequence.
3. (p. 24) Which of the following statements most accurately defines “social cognition?”
A. the study of people and objects
B. the process of interpreting one’s environment
C. the study of how people perceive each other
D. a four-stage sequence
E. being consciously aware of someone
According to the text, the definition of social cognition is “the study of how people perceive each other”. The
definition of perception is “the process of interpreting one’s environment”. The definition of attention is “being
consciously aware of someone”. A four-stage sequence refers to the four-stage information-processing sequence
which perception involves.
Bloom’s: Definition
Difficulty: Easy
Kinicki – Chapter 02 #3
Learning Objective: 02-01 Define social perception and causal attributions.
4. (p. 24) “I am very hungry.” Which salient stimuli would the speaker most likely pay attention to?
A. a gas station sign
B. a fast food restaurant
C. a bank
D. a person walking their dog
E. a shopping mall
Research has shown that people tend to pay attention to salient stimuli. Something is salient if it stands out. If a
person was hungry, it is more likely that he or she would consider a fast food restaurant more salient due to the
feeling of hunger.

Difficulty: Medium
Kinicki – Chapter 02 #4
Learning Objective: 02-02 Explain perception in terms of the four-stage social cognition processing sequence.
5. (p. 26 Table 2.1) A student arrived 30 minutes late for an exam. The professor gave the student the full time for the
exam even though the student admitted she was late as she stopped for a coffee. This is an example of:
A. halo effect
B. leniency effect
C. central tendency effect
D. recency effect
E. contrast effect
Leniency is a personal characteristic that leads an individual to evaluate other people or objects in an extremely
positive fashion. In this example, the student chose to stop for a coffee, rather than be on time for the test. The
professor was lenient, as he did not reduce the student’s time to complete the test by the 30 minutes she was late.

members; (2) telling others that they had done well; (3) setting specific goals for the group; (4) letting other
group members make decisions; (5) trying to get the group to work as a team; and (6) maintaining definite
standards of performance.

9. (p. 35) Helen is working by herself at a shoe store as her two colleagues are at home sick. Her supervisor
comments on the messy displays and poor customer service, ignoring that the store is short staffed. This is an
example of:
A. stereotypes
B. perception
C. bullying
D. workplace aggression

The supervisor ignored the situational factors that played a role in the situation.
Bloom’s: Application
Difficulty: Medium

10. (p. 26-27) According to experts, implicit cognition can be reduced by:
A. training managers on interview techniques
B. using structured as opposed to unstructured interviews
C. training managers on interview techniques and using a structured interview process
D. allowing managers to use unstructured interviews
E. considering first impressions of the applicant
Experts offer two solutions for reducing the problem of implicit cognition. First, train managers to understand
and reduce this type of hidden bias by improving the interviewers’ ability to obtain high-quality, job-related
information and to stay focused on the task. Second, use a structured process as opposed to an unstructured
format, relying on evaluations from multiple interviewers.

Kinicki – Chapter 02 #10
Learning Objective: 02-03 Illustrate six managerial implications of social perceptions.
11. (p. 27) Managers who conduct performance appraisals need to
A. accurately identify the behaviour and results indicative of good performance
B. be subjective
C. rely on their memory to recall employee behaviour
D. use quantitative measures only
E. provide feedback to the employee on a yearly basis
Faulty perceptions about what constitutes good versus poor performance can lead to inaccurate performance
appraisals. Inaccurate performance appraisals erode motivation, commitment, and loyalty to the organization.
Therefore, it is important for managers to identify what is good performance at the start of the appraisal cycle.

Difficulty: Medium
Kinicki – Chapter 02 #11
Learning Objective: 02-03 Illustrate six managerial implications of social perceptions.
12. (p. 36) Attribution models can be used by managers to
A. manage biases
B. manage underlying behaviour
C. explain how to handle poorly performing employees
D. explain the causes of one’s successes and externalize the causes of one’s failures

The application of attribution models for managers is to explain how they can handle poorly performing
employees. The other responses relate to attributional tendencies but do not accurately describe the use of
attribution models.

13. (p. 36) A key managerial challenge is

B. to treat employees fairly
C. use knowledge of perceptual process to help them interact more effectively with employees
D. to reduce the extent to which stereotypes influence decision making and interpersonal processes throughout
the organization
E. to use mixed-group contact to reduce stereotyping
A key managerial challenge is to reduce the extent to which stereotypes influence decision making and
interpersonal processes throughout the organization. Responses a – reduce sex-role stereotypes and e – to use
mixed-group contract to reduce stereotyping are subsets of stereotyping. Response b – to treat employees fairly,
is an aspect of social cognition and although important, is not the key managerial challenge. Response c is one
consideration related to stereotypes and perceptual errors.

receive all the information required for success. This is an example of
A. fundamental attribution bias
B. self-serving bias
C. distinctiveness
D. consistency
E. consensus
Self-serving bias is one’s tendency to take more personal responsibility for success than for failure. Failure is
due to external factors such as unproductive coworkers, or an unsympathetic boss. Success is due to hard work
and high ability.

Learning Objective: 02-03 Illustrate six managerial implications of social perceptions.
28. (p. 27) Why is it important for all employees, both staff and managers, to have an understanding of perceptual
errors?
It is important for all employees to have an understanding of perceptual errors, as this will provide him/her with
knowledge as to why a situation is occurring. This is beneficial information for an interview, as a manager or a
new employee. Self awareness of one’s own perceptual biases is important. Refer to Table 2.1
