Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they make mistakes? 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.
重点讲解人为自己辩解的倾向,寻求内心认知协调的倾向
评分书里边很多内容在之前读的书里看过,在各个领域的实例还是挺有意思的。现在我们知道了人普遍都为自己的错误找各种理由辩护,这是挺尴尬的一种情况,甚至会影响到别人的一生(见Low & Disorder那章)。看起来,“self-justification”似乎是弊大于利的。那,人类为什么会进化出这种心理机制呢?
评分First five chapters are amazing explanations of cognitive dissonance, which leads to confirmation biases and aggravating self-justifications. The last three chapters contains nothing new and feel dull and boring. Worst part: like many other books, the list of references/footnotes takes up 40% of the book - what the heck?
