Do most people JUDGE by what they SEE, they HEAR, they FEEL or what they THINK?

GOOD DAY/EVENING 2ALL!!!

Answer 1

Experience and study in journalism, politics, and public relations leads me to the belief that most people are activated initially by their "feelings". They then tend to reinforce those feelings by the way they INTERPRET what they see or hear. And they rationalise their conclusions on the basis of their accustomed thinking. Unbiased critical thought is rare. It can challenge how we see the world and ourselves in it. That's why most people cling to preconceptions - including religious beliefs - and see the world through tinted glasses like the little boy in the Ice-Queen's Cave (there's much to learn from fairy tales!). It's also why most people, and the mass, can be so easily manipulated, usually to their own harm. It takes courage to escape the cave, for which we all need help. And HOORAY, Enki!

Answer 2

All of the above. Most of us are taught to evaluate what we sense. For example, I smell the wondrous scent of fresh baked brownies coming up the stairs, I know that they are almost done and I must hurry down and take them out of the oven. This is a judgment based on what I sense or take in.

However, to judge as in to unfairly level an uninformed evaluation at another, then it's more a matter of who's doing the sensing rather than the method of sensing. Judging is in the person's being, not in the sensing.

Those who unfairly judge will do so whether they see a homeless women and judge her an unfit mother; or hear gossip about their neighbor and turn away as they pass on the street; or feel afraid as they are approached on the subway by a young person of a different race. Or think that they have the right to drive recklessly. It all comes from within.

Answer 3

Think.

"Seeing is believing.",
"You heard it from the source",
"You can feel it so it must be real."

You can't always believe what you see because you can't "see" context. You only see a moment in time and even then only one moment at a time. One visualized event might be the result of ten other factors. Only our minds can pull it together and suddenly what we see becomes clearer. (Most sensory perception is visual but you'll still judge based on what you THINK).

You can't believe what you hear, even when you've heard directly from the source. Unless your souce is omniscient he or she still won't necessarily have all the facts he or she needs to put a story together. Many misunderstandings between friends occur when we fail to remember this.

You can't judge simply by what you feel. Through experience we learn which sensations are safe, dangerous, pleasurable, painful. And yet we judge differently even when encountering the exact same sensation. Someone traumatized by abuse as a child might cringe at the mere touch on the shoulder from even a friend whereas a different person might interpret the same touch on shoulder as a show of support.

A study showed that the very same scent smells "better"--and is processed differently in the brain--if it comes with a nice-sounding label than if it carries an unsavory descriptor (Flora, 2005). That same study found that the body's senses are not objective recording devices. In addition, the study demonstrated how high-level cognition, such as READING, powerfully influences sensory perception.

It depends on the situation, where they are too and how well they know the person. A great example was the mix up between me and you that we had a while back. We didn't see each other, hear each other and we didn't know each other well so we couldn't really fully interpret what the other was saying or the tone of how we were saying it. So I answered the question by what I felt and what I thought you were asking and it was all wrong so yes it depends on many different factors but in most cases they are all used but there are exceptions like the internet or someone being blind or deaf. Then there are people who can not think outside of their box or are unwilling to so that closes down communication immensely. c u enki talk to you later . glad to see you on here again dear.

Answer 5

Some People judge by what they Hear others by what they see, but sometimes looks can be deceiving.I do not think that some people judge by what they feel, because feelings also can not be recognizable. Can you judge by what others think? I do not think so. So, I think that some people judge by observing the person they saw doing wrong, and I see you did not add that word to your question.

Answer 6

It is my belief that ALL people will judge somebody based on one of the five senses (we only have five with which to interact with the world (Maybe a sixth if you are that way inclined))

Every person is evaluated and ranked via a threat rating (I believe it is a survival instinct). We are a sight based species so I think the first judgment is always based on eyesight first where possible.

Judging people is not a bad thing, everyone does it and it is crucial to survival and social interaction.

Where the problem lies is when people will not keep an open mind so when more information is available they will not reassess their judgement and change it where necessary.

The worst kind of people will also start acting on the first judgement negatively before they have given someone a chance to change the judgement.

An open mind is a doorway to understanding

Answer 7

Most of the time as i see it, people judge others based on what they see. Seeing is the most percived sense man used in terms of giving judgment. Hearing and feeling senses comes later. And thinking will be the last recourse an ordinary man used in terms of judgment.

Have a wonderful day!

Answer 8

Most people judge by what they PERCEIVE. And this often has absolutely NOTHING to do with what they see, or hear. Their feelings get in the way and colour truth until their perceptions are skewed, and then what little minds they have get into the act and start thinking about all the ramifications of what they think they have been seeing and hearing...and before you know it we have another unjustified war on our hands.

Answer 9

Hi...I am assuming that most individuals judge on what they hear than what they see or think. Most people listen to what others say so they take the majority vote on the issue. I myself need to believe on what I see for myself than to rely on someones opinion or hear say. I also 'think' realistically. Have a great day!

Answer 10

Definately judge what we see more than anything else. It is what we do all day. Store information judged by what we already know. Hearing is the same. A blind person sees too.
