Fundamental attribution error (or correspondence bias) In my viewpoint that we just about people very easily when we see people what they are doing and all most all the time from the appearance of the people we judged them and we didn’t care or think that; is their another things that may be the cause or reason of these actions that those people do? For example when we see those Saurian, Afghans or Iranian that they leaving their country and going to western country from those unsaved and dangerous way they are insane but why they do most of the time we didn’t care about this part or those Afghans that Iran government force them to fight in Syria war we see those Afghans uneducated or insane but why they do that we didn’t ask from ourselves.” It is easy to think that poor people are lazy, that those people, who say something harsh, are rude or unfriendly, and that all terrorist are insane madmen.” (Stangor, 2014) I think we should training to ourselves to not judged people that is why we have judge in our country because we didn’t care about the all aspect of a situation so we don’t have an honest judge education to do that. …show more content…
(Stangor,2014). For example I didn’t respect to that neighbor that he is not an important person but something insight me make me discomfort sometimes I said all people do these but something said you should change your behavior and do that thing that is good don’t lie to
Sarah Dessen used to say that “Accepting all the good and bad about someone is a great thing to aspire to. The hard part is actually doing it. (Dessen, 2013)” Similarly, Barbara Jordan, a leader of the Civil Rights Movement, said “We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves. (Jordan, 2016, 45)”
People’s heart and their demeanor will always stay the same until other people break them and change them. Moreover, some people’s heart may never be broke. “It’s easy to talk to a horse if you understand his language. A horse stays the same from the day they are born until the day they die. However, they are changed due to the way people treat them.”
Many people are very biased and oblivious to the many problems this world faces to benefit them. In the Milgram Shock Experiment the teacher for one case knew what he was doing was hurting the experimental fake student but he still continued to do it because he said he was simply ¨following directions.¨Milgram noticed how people would rather keep going and follow his orders rather than anything negative happening to them. He explains,”There is a propensity for people to accept definitions of action provided by legitimate authority” (Milgram 1974). This is significant because it shows how even when he knew what was right he continued to withhold the experiment for the benefit of himself and others. Another example of this is In the film ¨The pianist¨, when the germans were first trying to isolate the Jews the people of Germany still put up signs saying no jews allowed even when they knew that it was wrong.
All should try not to judge and condemn others in one’s own eyes by how one looks, or the actions someone seems to have
In the epigraph of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, Ellison quoted, “Harry: I tell you, it is not me you are looking at…but that other person, if person, you thought I was: let your necrophily feed upon that carcase… [sic]” This quote from T. S. Eliot’s Family Reunion portrays one of Ellison’s chief themes in many of his works. This inclination towards seeing what you want to see and omitting all else is, in psychology, called the confirmation bias. Individuals do this subconsciously every day without fail. Whether this bias is shown through writing a persuasive essay, or through explaining an issue to a colleague or friend, it plays a large role in many of our lives.
As a Psychology major, I am taught to analyze people in an objective and holistic way. More than once, all humans tend to fall into the trap of the fundamental attribution error. The FAE is the claim that, in contrast to interpretations of their own behavior, people place undue emphasis on internal characteristics of the agent (character or intention), rather than external factors, in explaining another person’s behavior. This means that people tend to accuse a person's errors on internal factors, instead of how external factors can lead to errors. As I was reading “I’d
Finally, the fundamental attribution error occurs when a person fails to notice situational factors and assume that a behavior or specific actions are due to an individual’s personality or character traits (Harman, 1999).
People deal with different forms of human nature throughout their lives. A variety of human nature aspects can be used to describe different contemporary issues in today's society. For instance, blaming others is a widely spread aspect of human nature that every single human on Earth has to deal with in his or her life. Blaming is the act of accusing others of doing something that they didn't do or were not involved in. Another form of blaming is called scapegoating.
It is better to hear the truth from someone that they know cares about them, than from a stranger whose goal is to put them down. For example, a person in a friendship was changing for the worse; it is important to inform the friend what is happening
Respect is a big part of our lives still. Although the presence of many of the virtuous Native American values is very meager today, this one still exists as a miniscule glimmer across our lives. One must have respect for others to first have respect for themselves. You make a choice of how people will see you: as a incorrigible person, or as a respectful person. People will usually treat you accordingly.
Everybody has unconscious bias. But what role does it play in our daily lives? And how does it affect us? In the TED talk “What Does My Headscarf Mean to You”, speaker Yassmin Abdel-Magied aims to encourage the audience to acknowledge that everyone has unconscious bias, and to look past their own bias in order to promote equal opportunity, particularly when it comes to the workplace. “We all have our own biases.
Derek also provides an example of Hypothesis 2: Post decision dissonance creates a need for reassurance. Festinger defines post decision dissonance as “ strong doubts experienced after making an important decision” (Griffin, et al). Derek experiences strong post decision dissonance after leaving the Aryan Brotherhood. When he leaves one of the members tells him that he will be punished. This causes dissonance within Derek, he wonders if he made the right decision, and he feels regret almost.
Never judge a person from their outside appearance. They may be much deeper on the inside. Last but not least, don’t be afraid to stand up for what you believe
Describe the role of situational and dispositional factors in explaining behavior The roles of situational and dispositional factors in explaining behavior could be explained using the attribution theory where attribution is the process of interpreting and explaining behavior and how people try to use these factors to do this . Situational factors refer to external influences such as who you surround yourself with, social norms, the situation and the weather while dispositional factors are about internal factors such as your personality, attitude and beliefs . In explaining behavior these factors can either be combined as one explanation or used separately to determine the cause of one’s actions.
No one knows for sure why we commit the fundamental attribution error, but one likely culprit is the fact that we’re rarely aware of all of the situational factors impinging on others’ behavior at a given moment. Contrarily, we’re less likely to commit the fundamental attribution error if we’ve been in the same situation ourselves or been encouraged to feel empathic toward those we’re
