    The role of attitudes in shaping social perception in the context of crisis
    (CEP USM, 2024) Tarnovschi, Ana; Cobușcean, Simona-Anastasia
    Contemporary society faces a series of crises, ranging from economic and political to social and environmental ones. In this turbulent context, the way we perceive and interpret social reality becomes essential for our adaptation and for making responsible decisions. Crisis situations, whether natural, economic, or political, have a significant impact not only on concrete reality but also on how we perceive and interpret the world around us. Pre-existing attitudes play a crucial role in this reconfiguration of social perception, influencing how we process information, interpret events, and relate to others. Combating prejudices, promoting dialogue, and transparent communication are essential for balanced social perception and building a climate of social cohesion in difficult times. Social perception is a complex process influenced by a series of factors, among which pre-existing attitudes are included. In the context of crisis, it is essential to be aware of how attitudes can distort our perception of reality and to take concrete measures to inform ourselves from reliable sources, to engage in dialogue with those who have different opinions, and to promote transparent communication. Only through joint efforts to combat prejudices and promote tolerance and mutual understanding we can build a more united and resilient society in the face of crises.
