This class is part of a behavior analysis course.
Two of the topics we discussed were the self-fulfilling prophecy and heuristic biases in terms of evaluating our or others’ achievements. With regards to the self-fulfilling prophecy we referenced stereotypes used in society to reference commonly held descriptors based on race, and how these could pigeon hole selected professions. Many success stories we are likely to read about can often be exceptions rather than portray and accurate picture, and this can lead to a heuristic bias for evaluating the ease of breaking out of SES brackets, much like when we experience more anxiety flying vs driving because the media reports plane crashes more often than car crashes leading to an over-estimate of the risk of that activity. The external attribution bias or self-serving bias describes how many might be more likely to take ownership of our successes and attribute external environmental factors for our failures, while doing the reverse for others e.g. “that individual failed because they are lazy.”
For your 3 point extra credit assignment use the below cartoon to identify what processes are in play that preserve barriers for Paula and make it unlikely that Richard will help fight on behalf of people like Paula. I have purposely avoided discussing demographic groups, but adding this factor would probably increase the in-group and out-group biases in play.
