Perceptions are influenced by factors such as our past experiences, beliefs, expectations, and emotions. These individual differences can lead to different interpretations of the same object or event, even if they occur in the same context and at the same time. Therefore, the factors that shape dissimilar perceptions reside in the perceivers themselves.
