Looking at life, it is not difficult to find that the richer you are, the more low-key you are, and the poorer you are, the more ostentatious you are. Why do the more ignorant people have a more confident and narcissistic attitude?
In "Why the More Ignorant People Are More Confident: From Cognitive Bias to Self-Insight", Dunning comprehensively summarizes the research results on self-cognition and analyzes why our personal abilities and character are different from those of others. Develop hostage biases and reveal ways to avoid these cognitive biases.
The limitations of his vision
The narrowness of his vision means that he lacks a certain ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and even has no reference at all. To put it simply, in his world, it is already great. So the confidence he showed and the views he expressed were so firmly held. He is not simply showing off his talent, but also a way of defending "truth."
A combination of low self-esteem and arrogance, covering up their shortcomings with confidence
The so-called "confidence" is actually a kind of showing off, but also a kind of disguise. They will use it to prove their excellence and cover up their shortcomings to avoid being discovered by others. .
A person with cognitive bias and short-sightedness often does not listen to the suggestions and different opinions of others. They cannot accept voices that are completely different from their own, especially opposing voices, so it is difficult for them to break through and grow because they always feel that they is the correct benchmark, how can it be possible to grow by listening to other people's suggestions.
Therefore, the more ignorant a person is, the stronger his vanity and inferiority complex will be. They maintain their self-esteem and sense of worth in an extremely special way.
American social psychologist David Dunning has conducted in-depth research on this phenomenon, and jointly proposed the "Dunning-Kruger Effect" with Justin Kruger, also known as the " Duck Effect" ". This effect reveals some very interesting self-perception phenomena. For example, in a certain task, people who perform poorly will tend to think that they are better than they actually are, while people who perform well will tend to underestimate themselves. Performance.
Similarly, people tend to place themselves on the high ground of moral superiority and believe that their own character is far superior to that of others, but this may not be the case.
The author mainly divides the book into nine chapters. As mentioned in the introduction, the content is mainly divided into two parts. The first part discusses people's wrong evaluation of self-ability and explores why people often do not recognize their own lack of ability. and character flaws.
Part 2 discusses the misconceptions people make about their own character and explores why people tend to think they are more unique than they really are, why they tend to make unrealistically optimistic judgments about their moral character, and why they don’t Can predict the impact of emotions on their choices and actions.
The most valuable thing for a person is self-knowledge. Only by being clearly aware of one's own ignorance can one have greater possibility of development.
