Nisbett and Wilson (1977)- study overview
- Procedure
- Hypothesis: they thought introspection was
innacurate and we arent good at it
- In mall, hung up 4 identical pairs of
stockings, asked ppts to choose their
favourite
- Then asked them to explain why
they chose that pair
- Findings
- They made up fake reasons for why they preferred
them even though they were identical
- Conclusion
- If you ask someone to introspect about their
thoughts, feelings and actions, they will often
deliver false truths
- Perhaps introspection is not the way we
discover our self, as it would be very
innacurate
