Eric: Self-serving bias. You're going to RT (remidial training) means you like RT. Because if you do not like RT, you won't be going for RT. The fact that you're going for RT means you like RT. You love RT.
Moses: Just World Belief. Everything happens for a reason. I'm a good guy. I'm doing RT... There must be a purpose for me to be there?
Eric: Yes! To impact lives!
Moses: Haha.. I thought all these bias, errors are only coping mechanisms for us, give us excuses to feel better about our stinking lives? Haha... kidding of course.
Eric: Maybe you're right afterall.
So does social psychology really answer questions? Or does it simply veer around issues and offer disguised, distorted, disillusioned explanations of things? So are we drawing near to the truth or drifting away from it? You decide.
