Episode notes

We have a natural tendency at might be called like the binary bias. But as we've talked about many times before, the world is in shades of gray. And so just developing a more compassionate understanding of people and not being so hasty to judge can allow you to avoid the trap of letting the fundamental attributione prevent you from building meaningful relationships.

Among the many biases that we can fall prey to, one of Calvin's favorites is the fundamental attribution error. The bias, sometimes known as the "correspondence bias", is your tendency to assume that someone's behavior is due to the "kind" of person they are, rather than the circumstances impacting them.

In this episode, Calvin and Steph discuss the cognitive bias, why it matters, and how we can combat it.
