The Unintended Effects of Ethical Decision Aids in Organizations papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Delivery.
"Organizations frequently utilize Contemplation Questions in an attempt to foster ethical #decisionMaking and encourage employees to reflect on their actions. Presumably, they particularly target ’bad apples’—those (unknown) employees with a higher propensity for unethical behavior. However, our results indicate that CQs may inadvertently cause ’boomerang’ effects for this group. Individuals with lower #moral identities tend to use their interaction with CQs to justify their unethical preferences, increasing the likelihood of them acting unethically. While some CQs have positive effects on individuals with high moral identities, overall, the unintended consequences seem to be more significant. This aligns with the concept of motivated moral reasoning, where individuals rationalize their initial moral choices."

Teilt/boostet lieber weniger, bevor ihr Falschinformationen verbreitet. Seid kritischer.

Grummel.

Dazu kommt übrigens noch, dass die ganze Geschichte deutlich sexistisch ist.

SERRCistä osui silmiin Neil Levyn terävä analyysi Blake Roeberin 2024 kirjasta Political Humility, joka koskee poliittisen tiedon mahdollisuutta, social-epistemology.com/2024/1

Torppaako IDC - identity-protective cognition - tosiaankin sellaisen "in our hyperpartisan world", niin että jää vain vaihtelevan sivistyneitä arvauksia jos niitäkään, vai missä Roeber erehtyy?

Unter dem klassischen Antiwindkraft-Pseudoargumenten findet sich noch ein weiteres Juwel – ein Lerhbuch-Beispiel für "Moving the goalposts" in direkter Verbindung mit dem "Expertenargument":

"Nach der fehlerhaften Berechnung des Schalldrucks von WEA durch das BGR warnen Mediziner vor höheren Gesundheitsgefahren. «Offenbar ist Windkraft schon bei niedrigeren Schalldrucken gefährlicher als bisher angenommen» (Christian-Friedrich Vahl)"

Die NIMBYs von Altötting (Gegenwind Altötting) verlinken auf einen Artikel, welcher WEA als gewichtigen Faktor des Insektensterbens ausmachen soll.

Der verlinkte Artikel des LBV (Landesbund für Vogel- und Naturschutz) widerlegt jedoch genau das Motivated Reasoning der Windkraftgegner und unterstreicht die dominante Rolle der Landwirtschaft in dieser Hinsicht.

Dennoch wiederholt sie die Stereotype, welche uns in der aktuellen Situation festhängen lassen.

Das "Zweifeln" wurde mittels etabliert, mit dem die Autofahrenden ihre Privilegien schützen.

Das fing mit der Vertreibung der Radfahrer von den Strassen unter den Nazis an und wurde über das Automobiljahrhundert perfektioniert. Der Helm war da eine wunderbare Ergänzung – so gut ich ihn selber auch finde.

ACK. Ich denke auch, dass diese Faktoren da zusammenhängen. D hat vermutlich die besten Produkte für Psychopathen in diesem erreichbaren Preissegment.

Oh lago mio - . Yep. Dealer der motorisierten Gewalt und .

Ist mir ein Rätsel, wie eine Gesellschaft, in welcher Leute Infraschallbelastung erfinden, um Windräder zu verhindern, Gewalt durch Lärm ohne jeglichen Nutzen toleriert. Freiwillige Lehrbuchbeiträge für ?

Noch so viel Arbeit.

#MotivatedReasoning at work:

"[Antarctic researcher] told Lonely Planet he used to be conflicted about tourism in Antarctica, but after 10 years of research and serving as a lecturer on cruises, he has found "the benefits far outweigh the negatives." ...once visitors go home, they are "ambassadors of Antarctica" and "more appreciative of the urgent need to address global climate change by reaching out to their elected representatives on this issue."

Quantified? Nope.

Is this a symptom of when reality pierces the motivated and reasoned veil of ignorance?

Dear Internet People,

The fact that you might find a single source "#news" report believable does not in any way imply an obligation of part to regard said report as #credible #evidence, nor does my request for #corroboration by a source generally regarded as well-known, reliable, or neutral imply that I possess any particular political viewpoint.

It's perfectly OK for you to admit that you don't understand what the words "credible", "corroboration", and "evidence" mean. #motivatedreasoning

is me google searching "What is the youngest recommended age for reading the Lord of the Rings to a child?" and stopping my search only when I've found a page that says 4 years old. Even if I have to make that page myself! 🙃

Are you a go-gettér?
If you refuse to give up until you hit your target, you are
If you brave all odds to achieve your goals, you are.
If you make sacrifices to actualize your dream, you are.
Go-Getters don't surrender to their mistakes but learn from them and move on.
They don't cry over spilt milk but are innovative and positive-minded
