question 7 (2.5 points)
to clarify and validate your perceptions, you must test your beliefs.

true
false

Explanation:

First Question (Multiple Choice)

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "emotional blindness" refers to inability to recognize emotions, not directly about perception of the world in an unaware way.
• Option b: "active participation" is a conscious act, so we are aware of it, which contradicts the "not usually aware" part.
• Option c: "selective blindness" (or selective perception) is the tendency to perceive what we want and be unaware of other aspects, which fits the "not usually aware of" in perceiving the world.
• Option d: "helpless inaccuracy" implies inaccuracy due to helplessness, not about unawareness in perception.

To clarify and validate perceptions, testing beliefs (like seeking feedback, checking evidence) is a key step. This is a fundamental concept in perception and critical thinking—testing beliefs helps confirm if our perceptions are accurate. So the statement is True.

Answer:

c) selective blindness
