BPS Digest toont 10 karaktertrekken van ons mens-zijn die psychologisch onderzoek heeft aangetoond. Ik geef hier de 10 trekken, check de post van Christian Jarrett voor de bronnen.
- We view minorities and the vulnerable as less than human
- We already experience schadenfreude at the age of four
- We believe in Karma – assuming that the downtrodden of the world must deserve their fate
- We are blinkered and dogmatic
- We would rather electrocute ourselves than spend time in our own thoughts
- We are vain and overconfident
- We are moral hypocrites
- We are all potential trolls
- We favour ineffective leaders with psychopathic traits
- We are sexually attracted to people with dark personality traits
Het goede nieuws: dit allemaal inzien, kan helpen de slechte kanten te overkomen…
