Guys, today we're looking at the question.
00:02
After your school's football team has a big win, students in the hall can be heard saying, we are awesome.
00:07
So let's write that out as we're good.
00:14
Oh, sorry.
00:16
The next week after the team loses to the last place team in the league, the same students lament that they were terrible.
00:23
They're bad.
00:29
Okay, the difference these comments illustrate.
00:30
So basically, they just want to know the mechanism that's responsible for the switch from we're good to their bad let's go through these so let's start with a the fundamental attribution error just going to write this out as fun a tt error hopefully that might make a stick in your head more fundamental attribution error is the is what happens when people attribute somebody's missteps or just something somebody does more to their personality rather than giving it more to the situation at hand if somebody slips and you would say there are cluts rather than saying, hey, maybe the floor is wet.
01:13
That's what would be a fundamental attribution error.
01:16
And while there is some attribution, basically like blame happening in the question they gave us, it's not in terms of looking at the person versus the situation.
01:28
So we know it's not a.
01:31
B, a self -serving bias.
01:39
Serve bias.
01:44
Okay.
01:46
What this is going to be, this might be it.
01:48
Because self -serving bias refers to the necessary mental switches.
01:57
The necessary, i'm sorry, one sec.
02:04
Oh, the necessary mental processes that are distorted to preserve our self -esteem.
02:12
Like, basically, if something is maintained, if a mental process is maintained usually, but our self -esteem is that threat, that mental process could be.
02:21
Very well distorted to maintain self -esteem.
02:24
And that could be very well what's happening here, changing it from we were doing great to they were doing bad.
02:33
And that's why we lost.
02:36
Okay.
02:38
That's b.
02:39
So let's look at c now, just in case.
02:43
C, the self -fulfilling prophecy effect.
02:46
So self -fulfill...
