(7) Ignoring Circumstances We diminish the effect of external circumstances on anothers behavior. We also fail to compare one persons behavior with that of others under the same circumstances. This tendency also represents our desire for simplification. We are often unaware of the circumstances that affect others, and we do not want to take the trouble to investigate them. (8) Crediting Irrelevant Information We treat irrelevant information as if it were relevant. In truth, most exchanges are filled with irrelevant information, and it requires skill and experience to separate the irrelevant information from information that really does help explain anothers actions. (9) Focusing on the Negative We give more weight to negative information than to positive information, We seem to recognize this bias and compensate for it when we first meet someone by sharing only positive information about ourselves. One piece of negative information can have a disproportionate effect on our impressions and negate the effect of several positive pieces of information. (10) Seeing Good or Bad We distort our attributions to match our like or dislike for someone. You would attribute the behavior to an internal cause. You relieve your friend of responsibility by attributing his or her action to external causes. And also, if someone we like does something posi-tive, we attribute it to his or her personality, but when those we dislike do some-thing positive, we attribute it to external reasons or to some darker motivation.
