What about speaking more than one language? Does our non-native language influence us as well? Not as powerfully. In fact, thinking in non-native language can actually help us think more critically and avoid being subject to cognitive biases based on the use of words.

Every language has its own set of rules and constructions that allow its speakers to convey information in a way that is meaningful and logical to the other speakers. All those rules influence the way in which we form thought, order facts and organise perceptions of the world.

In psychological terms, self-stereotyping refers to voluntarily fitting oneself into the stereotype attached to one’s group, and the main manifestation of this attitude is the self-selection in roles and occupations which are consistent with one’s gender or race.

As a good diplomat, you must be aware that your opponent will inherently be irrational, unreasonable, impulsive, afraid, and biased. You will observe that her judgments tend to be inaccurate, she will spill her frustrations on you.

Engaging in diplomacy means putting forward an idea or a cause without ceding accidentally to rage and causing a messy disaster. It is imperative to keep in mind that what undermines agreement is the multitude of facets of human nature which must be received with caution.

As for today, we might not be diplomats, foreign affairs operators, or military leaders, but still in our daily life, in our relationships, we all have our good dose of conflicts that need to be soothed and require a fair amount of diplomatic skills. bbiasblog.wordpress.com/2021/04/12/mas…

The Greek city-states, the “pòleis”, were designed with the aim of fostering the communal decisions and the sharing of philosophical knowledge. Almost thirty centuries later, our #cities do not always seem to be planned to be people-oriented. bbiasblog.wordpress.com/2021/04/02/beh…

Confirmation bias: It is the instinct to seek or acknowledge only the segments of information that support your pre-existing beliefs and to parse or reject data that goes against them.

Anchoring bias: Our first impressions are often the easiest to reaffirm and some of the hardest to readjust. We tend to anchor on the initial information presented during a conversation, lecture or reading.
