The Social Psychological Narrative — Or — What Is Social Psychology, Anyway? Conversation Edge
Why do people say one thing, do another? Why do they defend their actions without thinking of how it sounds or what the excuse means? This is truly interesting for those of us that like to think of what causes certain actions and how to understand why people do not always answer the question in a sensible manner.
I even catch myself doing this and wonder why the words that came out, where said, as had I given thought to my response, I might have answered in a different manner. Have you encountered that phenomenon?
