The answer is "perception". The verb to "perceive" means to make some sense of something, to acquire some knowledge of things, etc. Perception is what we feel things or situations or how we feel them. In this context, people sense or view the interview in different ways, showing the "how" part of perception.

Nola · Answer 2

How an individual sees a particular situation, such as this one, depends on his or her personal construal system.

The word construal refers to our perceptions or understandings of the world around us. So, each person has their own personal system of these construals, based on which we live our lives. Each person may have a different set of these construals, which govern how we thing about things that surround us.
