Abstract
The aims of this study are (1) to analyse the patterns of perception from the viewpoint of personality, which is general behavior modality in the interpersonal situation, and (2) to investigate the factor of empathy with the patterns of perception. A pre-experiment was conducted for the 260 second- year high school subjects. After investigation, the subjects of this experiment were selected by measures treated in part 1, Behavior Modality Test, Empathy Test and Sociometric Test. The experimental groups were composed of six modality type members with high-low-middle empathy. The control group members were only in netural modality type with middle empathy. Each group did two problems and a reactive test questionnaire. Based on the reaction and observation resulted from two meetings, the following patterns of perception were analysed: (1) the patterns of self-perception,(2) the patterns of group-perception,(3) the patterns of perception to other-group-members,(4) the patterns of sociometric percepiton and (5) the patterns of Guess-Who-Test perception.
As a result, the following points were made clear.(1) The self-perception is understandable from the viewpoint of modality.(2) The group-perception has concern with familiarity, for it corresponds with modality type of perceiver, considering each factor.(3) A positive, significant correlation is found between self-perception and group perception.(4) When the patterns of perception to other-members are analysed from the viewpoint of perceiver, there are significant differences among objects in each factor. Relative tendency proves to have the same pattern of perception, in spite of the different modality types of perceiver.(5) When other member's perception is considered from the viewpoint of the objects, significant differences are not found on the whole but valid effect is presumed. The patterns of perception in each factor which are given for objects cannot explain with relation of factor, separated from modality type of perceiver.(6) Between sociometric perception and the factor of friendliness- evaluation, between sociometric perception and the factor of participation-activity, balanced relations exist. Though modality types are different, the patterns of sociometric perception are the same.(7) Self-perception from the Guess Who Test is explainable by sense of belongingness and role consciousness. Perceptions from other members correspond with self-perception.(8) The ratio of action in the data of observation is related with average pattern of perception.(9) The patterns of perception in the control group make clear that much of problem-solvingb ehavior accelerates perceptive differentiation and patterns of perception dependent on the interpersonal situation.(10) It is suggested that the factor of empathy becomes effective after some experiences in group activity.(11) The patterns of perception seem to be interpretable with normative perception and self behavior-norm.
