How to Make Your Family's Summer
Vacation Extra Memorable
One of the primary problems of being a human being is: Try as you might to
come across in a
certain way to others, people often perceive (感知、理解)you in an altogether different
way.
One person
may think, for example, that by offering help to a colleague, she is coming
across as generous. But her colleague may interpret her offer as a lack of
faith in his abilities. Just as he misunderstands her, she misunderstands him:
She offered him help because she thought he was overworked and stressed. He has,
after all, been showing up early to work and going home late every day. But
that's not why he's keeping strange hours; he just works best when the office
is less crowded.
These
kinds of misunderstandings lead to conflict and resentment (怨恨)not just at work, but at home too. How many fights between couples have
started with one person misinterpreting what another says and does? He stares
at his plate at dinner while she's telling a story and she assumes he doesn't
care about what she's saying, when really he is admiring the beautiful meal she
made.
Most of
the time, Halvorson says, people don't realize they are not coming across the
way they think they are. “If I ask you," Halvorson told me, "about
how you see yourself—what traits (特点)you would say describe you—and I
ask someone who knows you well to list your traits, there's a big gap between
how other people see us and how we see ourselves.”
This gap
arises from some quirks (习惯)of human psychology. Most people
suffer from what psychologists call "the transparency illusion"—the
belief that what they feel, desire, and intend is crystal clear to others, even
though they have done very little to communicate clearly what is going on
inside their minds.
Because
the perceived assume they are transparent, they might not spend the time or
effort to be as clear and forthcoming about their intentions or emotional
states as they could be, giving the perceiver very little information with
which to make an accurate judgment. The perceiver, meanwhile, is dealing with two
powerful psychological forces that are warping (歪曲)his ability to read others
accurately.
Chances
are that you "I'
m kind of hurt by what you just said” face probably
looks an awful lot like your "I'm not at all hurt by what you just
said" face. And the majority of times that you've said to yourself "I
made my intentions clear," or “He knows what I meant," you didn't and
he doesn't.
