Description

Understand how cognitive biases and social illusions shape your view of reality. Misperceptions of the Social World by Routledge examines the concrete ways Americans misinterpret the world around them. This volume challenges the idea that people always act as rational actors by looking at how cognition, past experiences, news media, and social media feeds influence our opinions. This book explores common incorrect perceptions regarding population diversity, sexual behavior, the economy, health, and relationships. By examining these social illusions, the text provides a deeper look into how our views on sex, race, money, and violence are formed. It is an essential resource for those interested in sociology and the psychological factors that drive social opinion-making in the modern age.
