Document Summary
People make attributions based on behaviours does behaviour reflect personality or the situation in which they were in. It is possible that the construal are based on westerners. Certain things become available in our minds i. e. post-9/11 things that come to mind really quick and that we"ve seen a lot has a disproportionate effect in our decision making. Things that come to our mind easily, we tend to overestimate the probability in real life. Heuristic use shortcuts/rules to help us estimate probability without doing calculation. I. e. availability heuristic making use of what"s available to estimate. I. e. representative heuristic temptation to overuse information and allow it swamp base likelihood ratios seems representative of a category. Libertarian people should do whatever they want if they don"t bring harm to others in the process. Mirror exposure effect if see or hear something enough, you begin to like it and believe it we are drawn to the familiarity (feel safe) a. k. a. warm glow effect.
