Selective perception refers to the tendency to filter information and focus only on aspects that confirm preexisting beliefs or attitudes, while ignoring or downplaying contradictory information. In this case, Liana is only perceiving the negatives of her move, which indicates that she may be selectively filtering her perceptions to confirm her negative beliefs about the move. Magnification, overgeneralization, and cognitive dissonance do not accurately describe the situation.
