Document Summary
Cognitivist perspectives: thought determines behaviour there are no instincts and no unconscious acts. Think. : bad choices are made because people aren"t thinking correctly about what their doing. Attribution errors: the center of our flawed thinking. Fundamental error: one component of someone (small piece of information) and making sweeping decisions about their character this is the root of stereotypes. Self-serving bias: its everyone else"s fault we assume we are the best in the bunch. Halo effect: assuming one quality means more than it actually does (attractiveness = niceness, good handwriting = more intelligent & fastidious) Labeling (the self-fulfilling prophecy): african americans" underperform after being reminded of their label/stigma, doctors find diagnoses because they assume that the patients require one. The catastrophizing effect: distort and upwardly amplify negative news until it becomes the end of the world. Drills kill skills: because drills kill interest level/ the desire to do something better to interest people and incentivize.
