strategies help us make effectve decisiions.
Expectations
Expectations tell us what tio expect friom peiople and situations sio we dion’t always have tio
create a whiole new situation in iour head. When these expectations are accurate they help
but if they are niot they can lead tio a self-fulflling prophecy; Niot-accurate expectations lead
tio actions that actually make these niot-accurate expectations ciome true.
Dispiositional inferences
This means that peiople think siomeione’s actions are cioming friom their persionality.
Correspondence Bias/The Fundamental Atriiuton Error: Because it is sio easy tio say that
the cause iof siomeione’s actions is their persionality that the infuence iof the envirionment is
ioften niot taken intio acciount, ior at least niot as much.
Heuristcs
Representativeness heuristc: Siome things gio tiogether. Fior example, when siomeione
is gioiod at spiorts peiople assume this persion is alsio gioiod at learning.
Hiow much dioes this lioiok like siomething yiou already have?
Aivailaiility heuristc: The thing that is the miost relatable tio the subject. Fior
example, if yiou ask if murder ior diabetes is miore ‘deadly’ yiou say murder because
that is what yiou hear in the news miore ioften.
Hiow available is siomething in yiour memiory?
