Social life involves making judgments about other people. Often these snap judgments turn out to be wrong when we overlook context. Social psychologists call this pervasive bias the "fundamental attribution error." This book explores the many ways in which this error creeps into our social interactions, frequently causing misunderstanding, hurt feelings, and negative treatment of others. Psychologist Daniel R. Stalder examines common examples of this error, from road rage and misinterpreting facial expressions to "gaydar," victim blaming, and prejudice. The common denominator in these diverse examples is that we falsely assume inherent traits or intentions while overlooking situational factors that might explain a person's behavior. Conversely in the actor-observer bias, we explain our own sometimes questionable behaviors by appealing to situational factors. For example, when you tailgate others, there's always a good reason, but when others tailgate you, they are obviously in the wrong. Stalder also reveals little-known information about classic studies of context, considers both the upsides and downsides to bias, and shares numerous strategies to reduce bias. Filled with interesting examples, new insights, and an abundance of research, this informative and entertaining book will help us understand each other and reduce conflict"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "A social psychologist focuses on a very common yet rarely discussed bias called the "fundamental attribution error," showing how being aware of this bias can improve our day-to-day understanding of others"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Attribution (Social psychology) 650 0 $a Discrimination. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations. 650 7 $a PSYCHOLOGY $x Social Psychology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS $x Prejudice. $2 bisacsh 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stalder, Daniel R., 1967- $t Power of context. $d Amherst, New York : Prometheus Books, 2018 $z 9781633884021 $w (DLC) 2018010366 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802013534.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11570D2A688611E8A317244297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
