What is defined as a way of regarding, understanding or interpreting something? Renounced Reality Perception Deprived

Perception is how someone takes in information and judges/understands it. A lot of sitcoms will have this trope in them - - a situation that looks really suspect happens, and a spouse will walk in and assume the worst. Their perception is of infidelity or some sort of lie.

Perception will vary between people, because of how they view and interpret the things around them.
