Adlerian (Individual) Psychology: apperception (biased apperception)
"Apperception" refers to the personal values and interests determining the mode in which an individual perceives self, others, and the world. The mode of perceiving is "biased" by convictions; thus, each individual has a "biased apperception" of both subjective and objective experience. The schema of biased apperception defines the individual's phenomenological field.*
