Van der Meer (Psychology)

Van der Meer’s theory in psychology highlights how individuals' personalities and behaviors are influenced by the way they perceive and interpret their social environment. It emphasizes that our actions are shaped by internal mental processes, such as beliefs, attitudes, and norms, which guide how we respond to others. Essentially, it suggests that understanding a person's psychological makeup requires examining how they interpret social cues and situations, influencing their choices and interactions. This perspective underscores the importance of perception and cognition in shaping behavior within social contexts.
