Think of a time when someone said something like “please take a seat” and you correctly or incorrectly interpreted the message as indicating that you were in trouble and about to be reprimanded. 3. Make a list of traits you share with your family members. Explain your selections. 4. Think of a time when you misunderstood a message. What was your psychological state at the time? Do you think you would have understood the message differently if you had been in a different psychological state? 5. Think of a time when you jumped to a conclusion and later learned that it was incorrect. Write a brief summary of the experience.
