The Importance of Introspection Illusions in Conflict Resolution

If you think you see the world accurately and i don't, what are you to conclude? The simplest explanation is that i can't be trusted. There's no point trying to understand me or reason with me or negotiate with me because i must be either stupid or evil. You can see how these biases might play out in the context, not just of interpersonal conflict, but geo political conflict. And if we believe that individuals are biased, that their mental processes are biased, then we don't believe that it makes sense to try reason with them. Is there any evidence that teaching people about the ways in which our minds work actually changes the way they can actually perceive the conflict and perhaps respond differently
