Discuss introspection. What is it? Is it a good thing? More specifically, what can happen to specific attitudes or behaviors if we introspect about them?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
Introspection is thinking at length about the self to get to "know ourselves." We may generate reasons for our behaviors/attitudes by coming up with logical theories for their causes. But these may not be why we really feel as we do about an attitude object, nor be a good explanation for our behavior. We may end up changing an attitude in a way that doesn't match our true self.
