Fundamental attribution error Why you make terrible life choices

Fundamental attribution error Why you make terrible life choicesFundamental attribution error Why you make terrible life choicesThere I was, sitting in a packed movie theatre. I waited two years for this sequel and Ive got enough popcorn and diet soda to brde me a full three hurs. Fifteen minutes into the movie, the hero and villain are facing off for the first time when a lady bursts into the theater. Trying to find a seat, she awkwardly tries to squeeze into the middle of the row in front of me blocking the best part of the movie.What a rude and inconsiderate person I think to myself as I dodge her body when she scuffles by.A week later Im rushing to catch another film with my friends. Its puring rain and besucherzahlen is crazy. I hope I make it before the previews end but when I reach the theater (soaking wet I might add), the movie has already begun. I have to turn on the flashlight on my phone to find my seat and accidentally step on a few movie goers toes. I hear tuts and loud sighs. Its clear these people think Im a complete jerk.Well this isnt my fault Its raining and the traffic was insaneI think to myself as I take my seat.Im usually never late.The fundamental attribution error strikes againThe fundamental attribution error is ur bias to judge other people differently from how we judge ourselves. It is, according toDr. Cristina Bicchieri, the tendency to believe that what people do reflects who they are - for better and for worse.This cognitive bias takes a few forms. The first occurs when things go poorly. When we screw up, we tend to believe things happened because of circumstances outside of our control. However, when others fail, we tend to think it is a result of poor choices or someone being a bad person.For example, I believed that being late to the movie was due to the weather, something I couldnt control. However, I didnt give the saatkorn affordance to the other moviegoer who was late. I assumed she was a rude person despite having no idea what might have made her late.The second type of fundamental attribution error occurs when things go well. When we succeed, we tend to believe it is the result of our talent and hard work. That might be true, however, when others succeed, our bias tends to make us think the other person got lucky or was privileged in some way. That college friend who made it big in Hollywood or your pal who now reports to the CEO at a Fortune 500 company, they were just at the right place at the right time, right?Why so judgy?Whats the deal with our tendency to give ourselves the benefit of the doubt while not doing the same for others?Firstly, its hard to see things clearly when we dont have all the information. We only see a sliver of the world around us. When someone else screws up, we see them as themost obviouscause of the problem. We dont see all the things that might also be going on. When it comes to our own mistakes, were fully aware of the factors outside our control, so we understand the context of why we tripped up.lOn the flip side, attributing our successes to our awesomeness boost our confidence, makes us feels good, and improves our reputation among the people around us.Turns out that confidence boost can benefit us and may evenserve an evolutionary purpose. Researchers believe it may help us take on beneficial risks as we change our perception of what were capable of.For example, astudy of unemployed college gradsfound those who credited their successes to themselves, were more likely to find a job than students who tended to blame themselves for failures. The researchers believe students who viewed things in a more self-serving way were more motivated and optimistic about their futures.End of an errorWhile the fundamental attribution error has some benefits, it also has a downside when it comes to how we think about others. Being aware of this tendency can help us put it in its place. Here are two ways to make sure the bias doesnt get the best of us1. Acknow ledge the role of chanceHave you paused to grasp how many things had to go just right for you to be reading this sentence right now? In the 13.8 1000 milliarden years since the big bang, out of the billions of planets floating around the black abyss of space, among countless galaxies, two million years of human evolution just happened to insert one special sperm out of millions into one single egg that made you. The odds of winning this cosmic lottery are mind blowing. And the best part is, you had nothing to do with it.You also happened to be alive in the safest, healthiest, most well-educated, most equitable time in human history. Sure, things are far from perfect in the world, but for the average person, now is a whole lot better than any other time in history.Remembering how many things outside of our control had to go just right, can help us feel more grateful and reminds us of how lucky we are that so many things we had nothing to do with went just so. This same attitude regar ding the role chance plays in all our lives can help us cultivate a more unbiased point of view.2. Try some empathyResearch showswe are more likely to fall for the fundamental attribution error when we make quick judgements of others. The next time you find yourself critical of someone elses behavior, blaming who they are instead of what they did, try practicing some empathy.Practicing empathyhas been found to reducethe fundamental attribution error.Researchers believepretending you are in the shoes of the person you are likely to blame makes us kinder and less judgmental.For example, that person who cut you off in traffic might be a jerk, or alternatively, maybe the driver is a woman in labor. Of course, youll never know, but why not consider it anyway? Your anger wont change her driving and does nothing but cause you undue stress.Before being so quick to judge, try coming up with an alternative story behind why someone might behave a certain way. It doesnt matter if the story is a little whacky, youll likely find a scenario you could potentially see yourself in.Just humansHumans seem to be hardwired to make the fundamental attribution error. It evolved to aidour survivalby bolstering our confidence and reputation. However, in modern society, this cognitive bias can hurt us and others more than it serves us. It can cause us to lose our cool, get into more trouble because of the repercussions of our anger, or ruin our day if we let it.However, this bias isnt our destiny. There are ways we can fight this tendency and live a happier more empathetic life. The next time you catch yourself about to lose your patience, are tempted to give someone the stink eye or judge them as a bad person, remember theyre human, just like you. Give them the benefit of the doubt and put yourself in their shoes, even if it takes a little effort. Well all be better off for it.Nirs Note This post part of a series on cognitive bias co-authored by Nir Eyal and illustrated byLakshmi Mani.

3D Printing Blooms in Biomedical

3D Printing Blooms in Biomedical 3D Printing Blooms in Biomedical When American engineer Charles Hull invented the first 3D printer over 30 years ago to create concept models, would he have imagined that someday researchers will use 3D printing for constructing organ scaffolds that are way mora complex?Continued neuschpfung has pushed 3D printing into new realms and has proved how far the technology has come since its invention. From dental products to prosthetics and tissue engineering, 3D printing is also helping address some of todays biomedical challenges.Biomedical applications are ideally suited because they are built on this uniqueness of additive manufacturing, which is the ability to make optimized and customized parts that are very complex, says Hod Lipson, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and computing and information science at Cornell University and co-author of the book Fabricated The New World of 3D Printing.A recent study by Meticulous Resea rch indicates that the global medical 3D printing market is expected to reach $983.2 million by the year 2020, with major drivers being the widening application, government initiatives to promote research activities in 3D printing, and increased investments. So what will be the next stage of innovation?One of Organovos tissue engineers oversees the construction of a vascular tissue construct. Image OrganovoBioprinting in 3DBioprinting is an emerging technology for fabricating artificial tissue and organ constructs. Extensive research is being conducted in bioprinting and its potential as a future source for organ transplants. It is, however, much simpler to print in plastic than living cells.Unlike traditional 3D printing of plastics and metal where after you finish printing you have your part, with bioprinting its just the beginning. Even after you finish printing there is a long road ahead. You have to incubate the part, simulate its environment its much more complicated, says Pr of. Lipson.Although organ printing is still in early stage of development, San Diego-based biotech firm Organovo has been using bioprinting to create 3D printed tissues for preclinical drug discovery testing and will begin selling its 3D printed human liver models this year.The human liver tissue that we just released could be used for toxicology testing, metabolic testing, and drug-drug interactions, says Michael Renard, executive vice president of commercial operations at Organovo. Besides being a functional tissue in shape and size, one of the characteristic is that the tissue lasts for a number of days and weeks. It affords the ability for drug scientists to do longer duration tests, he adds.In addition to drug discovery testing, says Renard, We also have a group thats beginning to work with tissue designs that could be valuable in the clinic as a therapy to be delivered to patients for a specific unmet medical need. According to him, The goal is to continue to advance tissues o f higher complexity and closer to the kind of tissues and organs that we see fully formed in people.Ibrahim T. Ozbolat, assistant professor at the University of Iowelches Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department also has been using a 3D printer to print living structures with bio-ink (watch video). The goal is to eventually print a working organ that can be transplanted into a human.A 3D printed ear, heart valve, and kidney are other organs researchers are currently working on but its hard to match the complexities of real-life human organs. The next stage of innovation in bioprinting, says Lipson, will be in multiple heterogeneous tissue to get closer to printing an actual organ. There are a couple of ideas that have been demonstrated related to vascularity that are promising. The question is how big of a tissue can you keep alive using these approaches and thats yet to be demonstrated, he adds.The Case of CartilageIn 2006, Prof. Lipson and his colleagues at Cornells Creati ve Machines Lab printed a meniscus, the C-shaped piece of human cartilage that cushions the knee and other joints and researchers around the globe are now using 3D printing technology to print living cartilage for patients with knee injuries.More recently, a biomedical engineer and trachea specialist from the University of Michigan were able to create a 3D printed splint that saved a babys life who was born with a rare breathing disorder and researchers at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research also successfully engineered a 3D printed cartilage to repair tissue damage in the trachea.Although further research is required before 3D printed cartilage is actually used in patients with bone injuries, the technology holds immense promise for orthopedic surgery.Children in Sudan fitted with 3D printed prosthetic arms as part of Project Daniel. Image Not Impossible, LLCDo-it-Yourself ProstheticsProsthetics was one of the first biomedical areas to be revolutionized by 3D printing and continues to grow as the technology becomes more democratized, making replacing limbs easier and cheaper.Not long ago, ASME.org featured the RoboHand, a device fabricated on a 3D printer, developed by a South African carpenter Richard Van As and Ivan Owen from Bellevue, WA. Now with easily accessible open source designs, people are 3D printing custom prosthetics for children, adults, and even dogs like Derby, who was recently seen at the 2015 White House Science Fair.The impact of 3D printed prosthetics on the developing world is immeasurable, says Elliot Kotek, co-founder of the non-profit organization Not Impossible, LLC, which uses 3D printing for building low-cost prosthetics for populations with no access to an alternative.3D printed options are providing tools for those whove previously lacked access to workable, affordable, timely solutions, says Kotek, adding that The 3D printed mechanical hands and arms are not, of course, anywhere near the standards of bionics being offere d in higher socio-economic environs, but in places where lives are on the line, daily, having rapid prototyping options is a game changer.Learn more about the latest technologies in 3D printing at ASMEs AM3D 2015 in India and Boston.Unlike traditional 3D printing of plastics and metal where after you finish printing you have your part, with bioprinting its just the beginning.Prof. Hod Lipson, Cornell University

They didnt respond to your resume 13 reasons why

They didnt respond to your resume 13 reasons whyThey didnt respond to your resume 13 reasons whyINBOX Jewel, I am getting little to no response from recruiters on my resume, even though I know I have the experience required in the ads Im seeing. What needs to happen to change this?Its easy to begin doubting yourself when youre not getting responses for the jobs you think you should. Maybe my resume dates me somehow. This may be age related, but I dont know. Im not seeing why theyre just going silent on me. The fact is there are some partes of this job search equation that you will just never know. You will never know why the person on the other end went silent. But there are other components that are completely within your realm of control. So, lets go over the quick changes you can make on your resume today to increase the response rate1) Delete your resume objective. Circa 1982, the only real objective you have is to get the job youre applying for. So, dont say only that, just in s ome long, drawn out way that uses big words and valuable resume real estate. Resumes that get responses today begin with a profile, qualifications section, or summary, which leads us to 22) Make your value clear. Literally, from the 1st words, your resume needs to powerfully begin with who you are, what you do, and the value you bring. Youve been hired again and again for a reason, and the reason is that you have made or saved your employers money. Highlight that from the start. Perhaps youre a sales leader who drives multi-millions in new revenue theres clear monetary value in that. Perhaps youre a absatzwirtschaft director who creates content that engages audiences bigger audiences = more customers = more money.3) Delete irrelevant data. Please, no birthdate, marital status, photo, or information that could be used in a discriminatory fashion.4) Make your resume easy on the eyes. Too often, I see candidates attempt to shove everything but the kitchen sink into the resume. What y ou sacrifice in doing that is precious white space. Balance your need to present the whole story with the readers need to be able to read that story. Think of it this way would you rather the employer discards your entire story because its a practically a physical assault on his vision, or would you prefer he read the highlights and areas of impact that youve carefully selected and laid out in an appealing way?5) Minimize your margins. Oh, if you want more space, use .5-inch margins all around, make the header .5 as well, and make the footer zero.6) Use numerals. Though spelled out when writing prose, using numerals in your resume will always break up the visual flow, which is a good thing when the employer is looking at a lot of resumes every day. Additionally, Microsoft Word will change common fractions into appropriately-sized font. Remember to use $ and % instead of writing out those words as well.7) Read above the fold. Remember back in the day when you actually read a physical berichterstattungpaper? Why did you buy that particular paper? It was sitting right next to all the others, and they all essentially featured the same news stories. You likely made your selection based on what caught your eye above the newspaper fold. Your resume needs to work the same way. Visuals are important short paragraphs, a list of expertise, and conservative use of color go a long way.8) Add your LinkedIn URL. This is a must in job search today. Make the recruiters job easy which, in turn, makes it easier for him to decide youre the person to call by featuring your LinkedIn URL prominently at the top of your resume with the rest of your contact information. Make sure you dont look old school, so leave off the https//www.9) Shorten your bullets. Bullets are called bullets for a reason a real bullet moves fast enough to kill you. A bullet on a resume is supposed to be fast as well. That means it also needs to be short. If youre telling a 4-line story next to every bullet o n your resume, re-evaluate that and determine what you can delete.10) Contextualize your bullets. Avoid the mistake that crops up all too often here bullets are for accomplishments and achievements they are not intended to list the regular duties of your job. For example, if youre a project manager, your bullets should not say, Plan and prioritize multiple projects, or Document milestones in a timely manner. Rather, the bullets need to illustrate the actual projects what you were called on to do, what you actually did, and what the quantifiable results were.11) Work on the wording. Anywhere your resume indicates you are a motivated team player who is self-driven to work independently or as part of a team, ask yourself what that really says and what that really means. (Ill hand you a clue it means precisely nothing delete it)12) Move your education down. Especially if youre an experienced professional whose education is a bit further back in time, keep your education near the botto m of your resume. Trust me, the employer or recruiter will look for your education and they will find it.13) Remove References Available Upon Request. Circa 1982, this is about the oldest phrase you can use on a resume. Instead of being worried about whether the resume is dating or aging you, dont date or age yourself. Literally every stakeholder in the hiring process knows you have references. The most forward-thinking employers will simply check your LinkedIn recommendations those ARE your references.Making these quick changes to improve the response to your resume is a solid 1st step. Find out how to put the entire job search puzzle together in our free online program, 3 Simple Steps To Cut Your Job Search Time In HALF Youll find out how to break into the hidden job market, even if your network is non-existent and you only know 1-2 recruiters, and were going over exact strategies to bypass the HR department and directly reach the right decision makers

Jet Printing in 3D

Jet Printing in 3D Jet Printing in 3D Jet Printing in 3DA jet engine fit to power a plane is not a piece of technology you stamp out by the thousands, like so many trinkets headed to the gumball machine. To get the kind of precision and reliability you want under the wings of todays flying machine, youll need about two years of manufacturing time, never mind the half a decade or so of designing and research that proceeds it.But now Xinhua Wu, a professor of materials engineering and the director of Monash Universitys Centre for Additive Manufacturing in Melbourne, Australia, has proved to the world that a jet engine can be made on a 3D printer.Wu had already printed a variety of components for a variety of aerospace companies, and, in zu sich view, Its not much more difficult to make the whole engine, once you know how to deal with the materials. To do just that she applied for a grant from the Australian government.Wu had previously made 3D printed parts for GE, Boeing, and otzu sic h companies, and she had learned that such cutting-edge products were not ones she could use to flaunt the capabilities of new additive technology. So, with those funds, she set out to rebuild a 40-year-old engine. Provided by Microturbo, its one that can still be found on the Dassault Falcon 20. The older design I can display to the world, says Wu. If its a new design there is confidentiality, and we cant show anyone.Professor Xinhua Wu with a 3D printed engine. Image Monash UniversityTo print the engine, Wu and her team went through piles of 2D drawings and scanned the engines parts (several of which were not represented in the drawings). They also determined the material of each component to reproduce it with precision. They worked to optimize the printing process to be as fast as possible, and to use as little supporting material as possible. One particular challenge were the 100-micron holesnot a trivial size in the world of 3D printing.After a year of work, they printed two co mplete engines. Now, should anyone want another, they can print it in a matter of monthsyears less than it would have taken to build in the past.In theory, the engine is ready to be fired up and even power a plane. There is nothing stopping anyone from doing it, says Wu. The only thing is we signed an agreement beforehand. Were not allowed to do that. Nor are they allowed to run off a few spare parts. The same agreement dictates that Wu and her team cut the weight of certain components before firing it up. A direct duplication of the current engine is straightforward, she says. But we are going to change the design, and that becomes challenging. That will be the next step.But thats not the only next step. Already, several engine manufacturers have approached Wu about building a newer engine. Duplicating the materials used in the older engine was a self-imposed constraint unique for the project. But those materials were better suited to casting and forging. Now Boeing has asked Wu to design a material and process more appropriate for 3D printing. And machining companies have come to her hoping shell pass down her knowledge.However, much of Wus work is likely to change how things might be printed in the future. The first goal, she says, is to demonstrate the abilities of 3D printing.Michael Abrams is an independent writer.Learn more about the latest technologies in 3D printing at ASMEs AM3D 2015. For Further Discussion A direct duplication of the current engine is straight forward. But we are going to change the design, and that becomes challenging.Prof. Xinhua Yu, Monash University

How to Find Out Why You Didnt Get the Job

How to Find Out Why You Didnt Get the JobHow to Find Out Why You Didnt Get the Job You send in a stellar resume . You blow the recruiter away in the phone screen . And you wow everyone you speak with during your in-person einstellungsgesprch . And yet, you still dont get the job. Worst of all, you dont know why you didnt get it - you either didnt hear back at all, or received feedback so vague that its virtually useless (e.g. We decided to go with anotlageher candidate who welches a better fit.) Is there anything worse?Its incredibly frustrating when a recruiter or hiring manager doesnt share a concrete reason why you were passed over, but if it happens to you, dont worry. Often, theres still a way to figure out what went wrong - heres how.If you have the contact info of the hiring manager, its best to chat with them rather than a recruiter or HR representative, says Ren Burgett, career coach and owner of 3R Coach .An HR manager or recruiter is mora likely to give you a programmed HR response such as, We found a candidate that was a better fit for our needs. The hiring manager is more likely to give you a candid response, she explains.If you havent already been in touch with the hiring manager , though, you may want to reach out to someone who can point them in your direction.If you dont have their contact details, you need to get in touch with whoever your point of contact was throughout the recruitment process. Even if they cant provide feedback themselves, they will be able to pass your query onto someone who can, says Steve Pritchard, HR Manager at Cuuver.com .When you havent been given the hiring managers contact information, it can be tempting to bypass your point of contact and look them up on LinkedIn or Google their email address, but this is a mistake, Pritchard says They may not feel too comfortable with you contacting them using a number/email they didnt provide you with.Nobody wants to engage with a candidate who sounds de manding or presumptuous, so make sure to open your message with a note of thanks. Thanking someone for taking the time to interview you and provide the opportunity can always departure the conversation in a positive manner, says Shanalee Sharboneau, President/Technical Recruiter at Staffing Science, LLC .In particular, you should express gratitude for the fact that they are going out of their way to read your note. After all, they dont have to share feedback with you.Show in your request for feedback that you appreciate the recruiter/hiring manager is likely to be busy. This way, you dont sound too pushy or demanding, Pritchard adds.You may be upset that you didnt get the job, but remember you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Its okay to acknowledge that youre disappointed with the outcome, but dont express resentment or aggression.Show that you are understanding of their decision not to hire you, otherwise, you may sound bitter about not getting the job rather tha n someone looking for honest feedback to help them with their job search, Pritchard continues.And instead of taking a self-deprecating approach like How did I screw up or Where did I go wrong, frame the conversation as a quest for personal growth.Dont make your question about why you didnt get the job, make your question about how you can improve. People are more likely to respond to someone that seeks out growth as opposed to someone that just wants answers, Burgett says.When reaching out for feedback, make your email no more than one paragraph, Burgett recommends. After all, they are probably plenty busy with their day-to-day tasks, so you want to make sure to honor their time.You can save them even more time by avoiding general questions like Why didnt I get the job? and instead drilling down into a few precise issues. Burgett recommends including two to three specific questions that you would like feedback on from the interview process.One questions that Laura Handrick, Career Analyst at FitSmallBusiness.com , recommends asking is what might you have done, said or provided differently that would have made the company choose YOU instead of the other candidate.Just because you were rejected from a job doesnt always mean that you can never apply there again - you may have been a close second. At the end of your message, reiterate your interest in the company (if you are truly interested) and consider adding something like if anything changes, Id love to connect regarding future opportunities.That will go far, and many times, new hires fail in the first few months. Theyll remember your graciousness, Handrick says.You can also see if they might be willing to refer you to another opportunity.Always end the email by asking if they know of anyone else you can reach out to as you continue your job search. If you didnt get the job, perhaps you can get a lead for another job. Use this as an opportunity to network, Burgett says.If the person you reach out to fai ls to respond, dont ping them every day until they do.Giving feedback, particularly constructive feedback, is hard, so allowing time for preparing will likely get you more thoughtful responses, points out Dr. Dawn Graham , Career Management Director at the Wharton School and host of Career Talk .Even if they never respond, you shouldnt pester them, Graham adds.Companies tend to avoid giving candidates feedback to avoid opening themselves up to risk, she explains. In addition, many hirers have trouble putting their fingers on a clear definition of fit or likability, which are two powerful aspects of hiring decisions that can be challenging to put into words. Therefore, they may pass on giving feedback to a rejected job seeker for the sheer reason that even they are unable to verbalize their final decision in a way that will be meaningful to the overlooked applicant.Want an example of what exactly you could say to a hiring manager? Burgett recommends the followingI wanted to tha nk you for the amazing opportunity to interview for the position of (job title) with your company. I really enjoyed learning about (company name) and getting to know you and your team during the interview process. I understand you have decided to move forward with another candidate that better fits your current needs. As I continue my job search, I would love to get your feedback on how I can improve as a candidate. When you have a minute, could you provide insight into what I can improve upon to help me stand out and progress in my career? Specifically, I would appreciate feedback on the following1. What is the one skill I can improve upon to help advance my career that may be holding me back?2. If I had the opportunity to redo my interview, what is the one thing I should have done differently?I appreciate any candid feedback you can offer as it will help me understand the areas I need to improve. Additionally, if you know of any companies that may be hiring for similar positions o r anyone else I should reach out to as I continue my job search, please let me know. Again, thank you for the opportunity to interview for the position. I wish you and your team continued success. Theres no doubt that getting rejected from a job you were interested in is upsetting, and it can be doubly so if you dont hear actionable feedback from the hiring team. But odds are, its nothing personal, so try not to take it that way. And remember - the right job is out there. Its only a matter of time until you find it.

Tell me how it all happened. It is non-judgmental, shows interest, and is likely to lead to more information about the mans situation. A poor response would be Do you have a gun? What kind? How many bullets do you have? because it forces the man into one-word answers, gives the impression that th e negotiator is more interested in the gun than the man, and communicates a sense of urgency that will build rather than defuse tension.2. Effective pausesPausing is powerful. Use it for emphasis, to encourage someone to keep talking or to defuse things when people get emotional.Gary Noesner, author ofStalling for Time My Life as an FBI Hostage NegotiatorhassaidEventually, even the most emotionally overwrought subjects will find it difficult to sustain a one-sided argument, and they again will return to meaningful dialogue with negotiators.
