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.

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...

书中对加入兄弟会的研究表明,加入越是困难,加入成员对组织的认同度越是高。 宣泄假说被彻底推翻,与没有机会表达愤怒的人们相比,那些被允许表达自己对卡恩愤怒的人对他更加深恶痛绝。由于学生们认为自己已经给卡恩带来了麻烦,因此他们不得不为自己的行为辩护,让自己相...

错了,怎么办? 中国有句话,叫做“越描越黑”。说的是,犯错后越是争辩,效果越差。 《错不在我》分析了人犯错后,天然地倾向于自我辩护。 自我辩护的原动力,是认知相符。大脑想法、态度、信念、意见,与客观事实一致,就会出现愉快的情绪。如果不一致,就会出现“认知失调”...

一个很好地比喻,人怎样不断地为自己的行为找理由,进而在固定的方向上越走越远。就像是站在金字塔尖上,一个小的决定来正正当化自己的决定,一步步地走向塔底,最后呈现出巨大的差异。 作者说明白了道理对现实的指导意义不大。 但我觉得,当一个人犯了弥天大错时,可以用来分...

读书经验告诉我,读书不但要看书的内容,还需要留意作者、流派等等一系列信息,这样才能获得更丰富的认知。《社会性动物》和《绝非偶然》已经让我受益匪浅,所以看到《错不在我》的作者是阿伦森的时候,我便毫不犹豫地买下来,事实证明,这本书确实值得一读。 “错不在我”,...

了解self justification的可怕????

评分

花了一个礼拜零零碎碎的时间翻完了 不推荐 整本书只需要看前两章就可以了 后面都是不断重复加各种实例 喜欢类似心理学内容的人可以看 thinking fast and slow 绝对经典 中文版也有的

评分

篇幅可以缩减1/3,为了论证自己的观点,confirmation bias,self-justification,有些例子与论段比较牵强(夫妻关系的部分)。一个有益的观点是,你与你的错误,应该分开来看,你的错误不能完全代表你是谁(我觉得这个也取决于是什么错误吧)

评分

原本希望这本书讲更多的关于cognitive dissonance的,全书还是太浅,只讲到sefl-justification部分,例子太话唠。大约读第一章和最后一章即可。
