perception to make judgments about personality traits, credibility, deception, and the presence or absence of a weapon, among others things, and just like you and me, officers use the same process of selection, organization, and interpretation. This research has found that officers, like us, rely on schema to help them make decisions under time and situational constraints.
I think this is also a double edged sword. Our society we often times can make judgments towards gender, race, that kind of car they're driving etc. So our perception can also get officers into trouble. We've seen this with racial profiling. Although they are trained on "The things to lookout for". In our society now it can be a negative.

Schemata also guide our interactions, providing a script for our behaviors. We know, in general, how to act and communicate in a waiting room, in a classroom, on a first date, and on a game show.

Expectations to me is a fight or flight response. You enter a new job you know you could either like it or not. But your expectations set your behavior towards that job. If you assume it's not going to be enjoyable then it won't be. It's important to have possible expectations and be open minded in this concept of communication.

Or a bright flashlight shining in your face while camping at night is sure to be salient. The degree of salience depends on three features (Fiske & Tayor, 1991).
Could the possibility be that the light is bright and we are attracted to shiny objects? Such as a nice car or a big wedding ring. This is what creates the election that then use as interpretation.
