The Psychology of Self-Image
Individuals are motivated to maintain a positive self-image, often going to great lengths to ensure they are perceived as good people. This can lead to behaviors that protect their self-regard, even in situations where the truth may not align with this image. For example, people may justify unethical actions or contribute to societal issues while still believing that they are morally superior. This cognitive dissonance plays a significant role in decision-making and highlights the complexity of human psychology.
