Episode notes
Cognitive Biases
- Cognitive biases are systematic deviations from rationality in judgment.
- They distort perceptions and hinder good decision-making.
Fundamental Attribution Error Example
- The fundamental attribution error is judging others based on character, but ourselves based on the situation.
- Example: Sally is late because she's lazy; you're late because you had a bad morning.
Reverse Attribution Error
- Assume you are at fault when you're late, not others.
- Give others the benefit of the doubt and assume they have a good reason.
