So what’s the link between imbibing and ascribing blame?
“Recent research suggests that adults have a default explanatory bias to interpret all acts as intentional,” Begue and his colleagues write. According to this line of thinking, our initial impulse in evaluating a situation is to assume it’s the result of intentional behavior. It requires additional mental processing to factor in the possibility that the outcome was the result of an accident.
“The key to avoiding the intentionality bias is to inhibit the inclination to make intentional attributions when explaining the behavior of another person,” the researchers write. “To avoid this bias, one must pay close attention to, and accurately process, subtle external factors.”
Intoxication not only impairs this ability, it also “has the myopic effect of drawing attention to more salient internal factors,” such as, say, your own anger or frustration. “Alcohol consumption,” the researchers conclude, “contributes to a hostile interpretation of events, and therefore to aggression.”
After a certain number of drinks, there are no perceived accidents — just perceived slights. So steer clear of the man with a beer in his hand: There’s a strong chance he also has a chip on his shoulder.
이걸 보면,
간혹 괜히 사람들을 나쁘게 평가하거나 안좋은 점만 부각시켜 보는 경향이 있는 사람들의 경우 intentionality bias를 통제하는 능력이 떨어지는 것에 그 이유가 있다고 볼 수도...
