The Benefits and Costs of a Rose-Colored Hindsight
Kappes, A. & Crockett, M. (2016). The Benefits and Costs of a Rose-Colored Hindsight. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 20(9), pp. 644-646. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2016.06.009
Abstract
Self-serving biases lead people to see themselves and their future through rose-colored glasses. New research by Kouchaki and Gino suggests this rosy view also extends backward: memories of unethical behavior are less vivid than memories of good deeds. This so-called “unethical amnesia” has many individual benefits, but also carries social costs.
