Wikipedia

  1. construed

    In social psychology, a construal is a way that people perceive, comprehend, and interpret their world, particularly the acts of others toward them. Researchers and theorists within virtually every sub-discipline of psychology have acknowledged the relevance of a subjective construal, especially with regards to the concepts of the false consensus effect and the fundamental attribution error. There is a difference between self-construal and construal in a social atmosphere. While self-construal is a perception of the self, the latter is a perception of one's surroundings. Construal plays a crucial role when one lacks the knowledge to correctly deal with a situation.

    The flag, which is known as the Thin Blue Line flag, has different meaning for different people, and rather than representing the young mans personal feelings, it was being interpreted as a political statement of the team and of Fletcher High Schools, in consultation with the coaches, I determined that the act of using this flag in this personal way, while in the context of the football game opening ceremony, could easily be construed as representing a political position of Fletcher High Schools and not just the personal feelings of the student and his teammates. Therefore, I have determined that it is no longer appropriate to continue.
