It Was Necessary To Design And Fabricate (ePub)

different ways and would always get the same answer. This will still happen even if we immediately and clearly explain the environment and circumstances in which the behavior is being asked to be evaluated, such as: in the first experiment, the test taker The other has very few lights on; Or as in the second experiment, test takers are having to answer a series of interconnected and unrelated questions. But in the end, such explanations do not make a significant difference.

There is something hidden in each of us that makes us, by natural instinct, want to explain the world around us in terms of basic human attributes like: He is the better player; That person is much smarter than me.

We do this because, like the Vervet monkeys, we are more receptive to personal cues than to environmental or situational cues. The FAE (Facility Attribution Error) is also making the world around us simpler and easier to understand. For example, in recent years there has been increasing interest in the idea that one of the most fundamental factors in explaining human personality is generational order: for people of the same bloodline, older people will be more domineering and conservative, while younger people will be more creative but also more difficult to manage. However, when psychologists tried to test the accuracy of this idea, the answer they found seemed no different from Hartshome and May's previous conclusions. It is true that in humans there are signs of the influence of this order, but psychologist Judith Harris pointed out in her work The Nurture Assumption, that order only has an impact within the family. When we live apart from our family, that is, live in a different situation, our siblings may no longer be able to help.
