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.
从这本书就可以找到中国文化认为匪夷所思现象的线索。 死不认错--是家长制,集权主义的惯用手段,但几千年来中国人已经丧失了辨识能力(同时每个人自身已经染上了这种习气,有意无意地这样行事)。 西方用理性思维能力剖析这用恶,用民主、法制制衡这种恶。 这本书是需要中国大...
評分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...
評分错了,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”...
評分整本书围绕了self-justification这个问题展开,很有意思。读这本书的时候,自己都时不时的在想,我的大脑真是归我自己管吗? self-justification,应该算是人自身的一种自我保护机制,其中一点就是保护一个人的自己心目中的自我形象。事物是具有两面性的,self-justification...
評分因为犯过错,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...
篇幅可以縮減1/3,為瞭論證自己的觀點,confirmation bias,self-justification,有些例子與論段比較牽強(夫妻關係的部分)。一個有益的觀點是,你與你的錯誤,應該分開來看,你的錯誤不能完全代錶你是誰(我覺得這個也取決於是什麼錯誤吧)
评分原本希望這本書講更多的關於cognitive dissonance的,全書還是太淺,隻講到sefl-justification部分,例子太話嘮。大約讀第一章和最後一章即可。
