Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cognitive structure refers to the perceiver's habitual way of organizing and interpreting information about others. It involves categorizing information about the target into coherent patterns to make sense of them. Therefore, cognitive structure is the best choice for this question. Situational cues refer to environmental factors that influence behavior; Self-concept relates to the perceiver's view of themselves, and Attitude structuring refers to how attitudes are formed and reinforced. None of these concepts should be confused with the perceiver's pattern of thinking as described in the question.
