- Self-confirming
- Groupthink
Why We Do It
- Aggrandize our own perceived value
- Establish continuity between past and present
- Increase projected sincerity in deceiving others
- Perpetuate optimism to heal or to have something to look forward to
- Increase motivation, even delusion in competitive performance
How We Do It
1. Create a Bias - Favorable Self-Evaluation
- Feedback
- Comparison - Driving
- Trait Identification
2. Maintain the Bias
- Reconcile dissonance
- Self-persuasion
3. Self-Defense
- Denial
- Rationalization
- Repression
- Dissociation
- Projection
