We attribute what others do to their own internal causes or inherent personality, whereas with ourselves we take a lot of circumstances into consideration. This can get us into trouble in our relationships with others.
Ever find yourself quick to judge someone else's actions but give yourself a pass for similar behavior? In this mini-episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer dives into the intriguing world of cognitive biases, focusing on the fundamental attribution error. This bias leads us to attribute others' actions to their character while blaming our own actions on external circumstances. It's a recipe for misunderstandings and strained relationships.
Drawing from his own life experiences, Eric offers relatable examples to help you understand how these biases sneak into your daily interactions. He also introduces the covariant model, a handy tool for judging behavior by considering consensus, distinctiveness, and consistency. If you're keen on improving your relationships and gaining a better understanding of yourself and others, this episode is a must-listen.
Eric's approachable style makes complex psychological concepts easy to grasp, leaving you with practical strategies to challenge your automatic thoughts and assumptions.
