人最困难的事莫过于认错。我指的是自觉的、诚心诚意的认错。用刀架着你脖子的不算,用枪抵着你的脑袋也不算,老婆扬言不要你上床、上司威胁要炒你鱿鱼……这类被迫的情形都不算。 好在所有的难事情都有人研究,替我们支招。当我读到美国心理学家卡罗尔...
评分关键词:认知失调 自我辩护 记忆再造 闭合式怪圈 此书通过观点和事证讲述人们如何稍有松弛即被对自身头脑的良好感觉所绑架,从而往世界输出错谬的过程及机制。这种现象是如此的普遍,我们可以在日常生活中一遍遍的目睹,而此书通过事实告诉我们,没有人能够逃脱这种可能性。 ...
评分不知道是幸运还是不幸,我看了这本书。我那些认识失调再难调节。 虽然那些自我欺骗虽然仍然起作用,不过已经不太好使,对于本来可以自然接受的事实,现在却要想想,再想想,乃至今天也没有定论。 或许,我应该忘了这本书。 认知上的矛盾,是让人痛苦的一件事,大概只有把自己...
评分因为犯过错,因为还在错误中煎熬,因为将来不可避免得还会犯错,所以我会对人类行差踏错的根源以及犯错后又会如何应对比较好奇。 近来陆续读了两本与错误有关的书,一本是普利策新闻奖得主Joseph T. Hallinan的《Why We Make Mistakes》, 用丰富的事例举证了人类怎样思考,怎...

Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they screw up? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell?
Renowned social psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson take a compelling look into how the brain is wired for self-justification. When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right—a belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong.
Backed by years of research and delivered in lively, energetic prose, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) offers a fascinating explanation of self-deception—how it works, the harm it can cause, and how we can overcome it.
Confirmation Bias,这个确实太强大了,要如何对抗呢?
评分了解self justification的可怕????
评分不是简单的因果关系
评分不如叫做#self-justification的实例大全#…后面几章说来说去都是一个意思…换了不同方面的例子而已…有点啰嗦和冗长…没有看到足够多的实验研究不开心…还有…把所有的问题都归结为self-justification 是不是也太简单化了…#两个人最初的选择也许都是迷迷糊糊地做出的,然后一步一步因为self-justification而从金字塔尖端走下,最后变成完全不同的两个人
