Document Summary
Basically the psychology for those that aren"t abnormal . What is normal" anyway: we think of ourselves as normal, our perception of ourselves is in itself a schema, use ourselves as a baseline for what is normal. People who ___< me are: responsible: anal vs. slackers, messy: neat freaks vs. slobs, energetic: manic vs. boring, sexy: supermodels vs. trolls, smart: nerds vs. dumb-asses, etc. People who are similar to us are obviously also nice, decent people like we are but people who differ from us . Well, they are weird, deviant, and deficient in some way. Me: a somewhat better version of normal: and we are pretty good, better than average, in fact E. g. , people prefer their own belongings, the letters of their name, and believe that for most things, they are better than average . 90% of adults claim that they are better-than-average drivers, even if they have been hospitalized for injuries caused by car accidents.
