Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they screw up? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell?
Renowned social psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson take a compelling look into how the brain is wired for self-justification. When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right—a belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong.
Backed by years of research and delivered in lively, energetic prose, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) offers a fascinating explanation of self-deception—how it works, the harm it can cause, and how we can overcome it.
Carol Tavris is a social psychologist, writer, and lecturer whose goal is to promote psychological science and critical thinking in improving our lives. She is coauthor, with Elliot Aronson, of "Mistakes Were Made (But Not by ME): Why we justify foolish beliefs, bad decisions, and hurtful acts," and, with Avrum Bluming, the forthcoming "Estrogen Matters." Her other major books include the landmark "Anger: The misunderstood emotion," a book well known for its critical look at unvalidated notions about the inevitability of anger and the need to "ventilate" it, and how anger can best be expressed constructively. She is also author of the award-winning "The Mismeasure of Woman: Why women are not the better sex, the inferior sex, or the opposite sex," and coauthor of two widely used textbooks, with Carole Wade, for introductory psychology. She has written hundreds of essays and book reviews on topics in psychological science, and is a highly regarded lecturer who has spoken to groups around the world, from New Zealand to Finland. She is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science and the Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities.
Elliot Aronson is a social psychologist and Professor Emeritus at the University of California at Santa Cruz and Distinguished Visiting Professor at Stanford University. He has previously taught at Harvard, the University of Texas and the University of Minnesota. As a researcher, he is best known for his groundbreaking research on social influence and persuasion as well as for the invention of the jigsaw classroom (a strategy for reducing prejudice in public schools).
He has written 22 books including The Social Animal, Age of Propaganda (with Anthony Pratkanis), Nobody Left to Hate, The Adventures of Ruthie and a Little Boy Named Grandpa (with his 7-year-oldgranddaughter, Ruth Aronson, and Mistakes Were Made But Not By Me (with Carol Tavris).
Aronson is the only person in the 120-year history of the American Psychological Association to have received all three of its highest awards: For Distinguished Research, Distinguished Teaching, and Distinguished Writing. In 1981, he was named Professor of the Year by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education.
Among his other awards are the Gordon Allport prize for his contributions to inter-racial harmony and the William James Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Psychological Science (2007). Recently, his peers named him as one of the 100 most influential psychologists of the 20th Century.

不知道为什么这本书没有那么popular,I really feel it deserves more applause than it did. 语言诙谐有趣,内容深刻有见地。并不是象有些popular书一样列举几个anecdotal evidence就完事,而是不断能够检查语言的逻辑,事例背后的原因等等。很难一下描述清楚,我想这本书在...
評分人最困难的事莫过于认错。我指的是自觉的、诚心诚意的认错。用刀架着你脖子的不算,用枪抵着你的脑袋也不算,老婆扬言不要你上床、上司威胁要炒你鱿鱼……这类被迫的情形都不算。 好在所有的难事情都有人研究,替我们支招。当我读到美国心理学家卡罗尔...
評分在书评正文开始之前,容我先讲一个以前看到的笑话。当然,因为本人实在没有什么讲笑话的天赋,所以读起来可能不怎么有趣: 今天看电视的时候,有个节目说“吸烟可能导致肺癌”,吓得我赶紧关了电视,不行,我得吸根烟冷静一下。 在我们的生活中,我们,以及我们身边的人会不...
評分读书经验告诉我,读书不但要看书的内容,还需要留意作者、流派等等一系列信息,这样才能获得更丰富的认知。《社会性动物》和《绝非偶然》已经让我受益匪浅,所以看到《错不在我》的作者是阿伦森的时候,我便毫不犹豫地买下来,事实证明,这本书确实值得一读。 “错不在我”,...
評分错了,怎么办? 中国有句话,叫做“越描越黑”。说的是,犯错后越是争辩,效果越差。 《错不在我》分析了人犯错后,天然地倾向于自我辩护。 自我辩护的原动力,是认知相符。大脑想法、态度、信念、意见,与客观事实一致,就会出现愉快的情绪。如果不一致,就会出现“认知失调”...
