Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mirror-image perceptions are called so because they are similar distorted perceptions that two opposing groups have of each other, often portraying the others as hostile, aggressive, and distrustful - which reinforces these negative perceptions on both sides. Therefore, their perceptions mirror one another. Shallow, self-centered, and self-defeating are not accurate descriptions of mirror-image perceptions.
