"50 Cognitive Biases to be aware of so You Can Be the Very Best Version of You" is a statement emphasizing the importance of understanding cognitive biases in order to improve oneself.
“50种认知偏误的认识,让你成为最好的自己”这句话强调了理解认知偏误对于自我提升的重要性。
The human brain is a complex system and often falls prey to cognitive biases, which can distort our thinking and decision-making.
人脑是一个复杂的系统,经常会受到认知偏误的影响,这会扭曲我们的思维和决策过程。
These biases surface in everyday situations, from minor disagreements on social media to significant decisions affecting our global perspective.
这些偏见出现在日常情境中,从社交媒体上的小争论到影响我们全球观点的重大决策。
For example, groupthink can lead to poor decisions in business as everyone aligns their opinions with perceived group consensus, avoiding conflict.
例如,团体迷思可能导致商业决策失误,因为每个人都将自己的意见与感知的集体共识对齐,以避免冲突。
Another bias, anchoring, can cause us to overvalue the first piece of information we receive, like an original price, affecting subsequent decisions such as purchases during sales.
另一个偏见,锚定效应,会导致我们对我们接收到的第一条信息(比如原始价格)给予过高的价值,影响随后的决策,如打折期间的购买。
Understanding and recognizing these cognitive biases can empower us to make better, more rational choices.
理解和认识这些认知偏误可以使我们有能力做出更好、更理性的选择。
Cognitive bias refers to the systematic patterns of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment, where individuals create their own "subjective reality" from their perception of the input.
认知偏误指的是从规范或合理性判断中系统性偏离的模式,个体从他们对输入的感知中创造自己的“主观现实”。
Social proofing, a non-cognitive bias, influences our behavior based on the perceived actions of others, while cognitive dissonance represents the mental stress experienced when we encounter conflicting beliefs, ideas, or values.
社会认同,一种非认知偏误,根据我们对他人行为的感知来影响我们的行为,而认知失调则代表当我们遇到相互冲突的信念、想法或价值时所经历的心理压力。
The placebo effect demonstrates how expectations and beliefs can lead to real physical changes, highlighting the power of the mind over the body.
安慰剂效应展示了期望和信念如何导致真实的身体变化,突显了心灵对身体的影响力。
Now, let's look at some common examples to understand how cognitive biases influence our everyday decisions.
现在,让我们来看一些常见的例子,以理解认知偏误如何影响我们的日常决策。
1. Fundamental Attribution Error 基本归因错误
这张图片展示了基本归因错误的概念。左侧,一位开车的男子面露愤怒,似乎是因为其他司机开得慢,他的思维泡泡中写着“其他人故意开得慢或阻碍”,这表明他将交通拥堵的原因归咎于其他司机的故意行为,而没有考虑到交通状况等情境因素。
右侧的图像描绘了同一男子,此时他坐在人行道上,看起来有些懊悔和沮丧。他的思维泡泡中的文字“对不起,我不是故意的”,表明他意识到自己之前可能误解了情况,认识到了自己的错误归因。
整体上,这张图片反映了人们倾向于过度依赖个性解释他人行为的倾向,而忽视了影响行为的外部环境和情境因素。
English Explanation:
The Fundamental Attribution Error occurs when we attribute a person's actions to their character rather than to external factors. When someone else makes a mistake, we often blame their personality or abilities, but when we make the same mistake, we tend to blame the situation or context.
中文解释:
基本归因错误是当我们将一个人的行为归咎于他们的性格而不是外部因素时发生的。当别人犯错时,我们通常会责怪他们的个性或能力,但当我们犯同样的错误时,我们倾向于责怪情境或环境。
Incorrect Example (错误的例子):
Your coworker is late to a meeting and you think, "He's always so irresponsible." But when you're late, you think, "The traffic was terrible."
你的同事迟到了,你想,“他总是这么不负责任。”但当你迟到时,你想,“交通太糟糕了。”
Correct Example (正确的例子):
Instead of immediately judging your coworkers, you consider that they might have encountered unexpected traffic or an emergency, just as you might have.
与其立即判断你的同事,不如考虑他们可能遇到了意外的交通堵塞或紧急情况,就像你可能会遇到的那样。
2. Self-Serving Bias 自利偏见
这张插图展示了“自利偏见”的概念。图中有两种对照的情景。一边,一位中东血统的人物高举奖杯,自豪地向他人展示,他的思维泡泡中写着“我赢了因为我是最棒的!”,暗示他将成功归因于个人的能力。
另一边,同一个人物带着参与奖缎带,坐在那里显得沮丧,他的思维泡泡中写着“我输了是因为评委不公平!”,这表明他将失败归咎于外部因素。
这幅画直观地说明了人们倾向于将个人的成功归功于自己的努力和技能,而将失败归咎于外界环境和其他人的偏见,这是自利偏见的本质。
English Explanation:
Self-Serving Bias is a tendency to attribute our successes to our own abilities and efforts, while attributing our failures to external factors and situations beyond our control.
中文解释:
自利偏见是一种倾向,即将我们的成功归因于我们自己的能力和努力,而将我们的失败归因于我们无法控制的外部因素和情况。
Incorrect Example (错误的例子):
When you win a game, you think, "I won because I'm skilled," but when you lose, you think, "I lost because the game was unfair."
当你赢了一场比赛,你认为,“我赢是因为我有技巧”,但当你输了时,你认为,“我输是因为游戏不公平。”
Correct Example (正确的例子):
You acknowledge that while skill played a role in your victory, luck and the efforts of your teammates were also important. Similarly, when you lose, you consider your own areas for improvement instead of just blaming external factors.
你承认,虽然技巧在你的胜利中起了作用,但运气和队友的努力也很重要。同样,当你输了时,你会考虑自己需要改进的地方,而不是仅仅责怪外部因素。
3. In-Group Favoritism 内群体偏好
这幅插图展示了“内群体偏好”的社会心理概念。
在一个多元化的工作场所环境中,图的前景显示了一位南亚血统的人对一位东亚血统的同事竖起了大拇指,暗示了对自己团队或群体成员的正面偏见。
在背景中,一位黑人血统的人被一位西班牙血统的人忽视,没有与他握手,这表明了他被排除在内群体之外。
这幅图反映了个体倾向于偏爱自己群体的成员而非其他群体成员的趋势。
English Explanation:
In-Group Favoritism is the cognitive bias where individuals prefer and prioritize members of their own group over those of an out-group.
中文解释:
内群体偏好是个体倾向于偏爱和优先考虑自己群体中的成员而非外部群体的成员的认知偏见。
Incorrect Example (错误的例子):
In a workplace, voting for a less qualified project proposal because it was submitted by a department colleague, ignoring a superior proposal from another department.
在工作场所中,因为一个项目提案是由部门同事提交的,就为其投票,即使不太合格,也忽视了另一个部门提交的更优秀的提案。
Correct Example (正确的例子):
Evaluating all project proposals based on merit, regardless of which department they come from, ensuring that the best ideas are chosen.
基于项目提案的优点进行评估,不管它们来自哪个部门,确保选择最好的想法。
4. Bandwagon Effect 跟风效应
这幅插图展示了“跟风效应”的概念。
画面中,不同血统的一群人——一位白人、一位黑人、一位西班牙人和一位南亚人——都朝着同一个方向行走,跟随着一个写着“这里去潮流!”的标志。
一位看起来犹豫不决的中东血统人物在观察其他人,并迈出步伐好像决定加入人群。
这描绘了一个观点:人们常常因为看到别人这么做而采纳某些信仰或行为,而不是基于他们自己的信念,这正是跟风效应的本质。
English Explanation:
The Bandwagon Effect is a cognitive bias where individuals do something primarily because other people are doing it, regardless of their own beliefs, which they may ignore or override.
中文解释:
跟风效应是指个体主要因为其他人在做某事而做同样的事,不管他们自己的信仰是什么,他们可能会忽略或压制这些信仰的认知偏见。
Incorrect Example (错误的例子):
Buying a product just because it's trending, even if you don't need it or it doesn't align with your original preferences.
仅因为一种产品正在流行就购买它,即使你不需要它或它并不符合你原来的偏好。
Correct Example (正确的例子):
Making purchasing decisions based on research and personal needs rather than just following what is popular at the moment.
基于研究和个人需求做出购买决定,而不仅仅是跟随目前的流行趋势。
5. Groupthink 团体迷思
这幅插图展现了“团体迷思”的概念。
图中显示了一个会议室,围坐在桌子周围的是一群多元化的人——一位白人、一位东亚人、一位黑人和一位中东人。
他们的思维泡泡中都有相同的想法,一个亮着的灯泡,表明他们都持相同的观点。
一位南亚血统的人站在翻页板前,板上有一个不同的想法——一个问号,但他看起来迟疑不决,不愿意分享自己的想法。
这反映了团体迷思的特点:在团体的思考压力下,个体往往会遵从大多数人的想法,压抑不同的声音。
English Explanation:
Groupthink occurs when a group makes faulty or ineffective decisions for the sake of reaching a consensus, often suppressing dissenting viewpoints and isolating themselves from outside opinions.
中文解释:
团体迷思是指为了达成共识,一个团体做出错误或无效决策的情况,这通常会压制不同的观点并使自己与外界意见隔绝。
Incorrect Example (错误的例子):
A team decides to proceed with a flawed plan because all members do not want to disrupt the unanimity, even though some members have serious reservations.
一个团队决定继续执行一个有缺陷的计划,因为所有成员都不想破坏一致性,即使一些成员有严重的保留意见。
