In the rush to give meaning to our perceptions, we can end up making snap judgments, or instant decisions. Instead of delaying our responses, we jump to conclusions, which are often incorrect or dangerous. For example, if we see a friend talking with a police officer, we may rush to judgment and conclude that the officer was giving him a ticket. Accurate perception usually takes time. Better perceivers do not rush to respond; rather, they try to synthesize as many data as possible, explore alternative evaluations of the situation, and thus increase their chances of understanding what is really going on.
