Mistakes Were
Made
(but not by me)

the finger at someone or something else when it seems so obvious to you
who really made the mistake. Social Psychologists and researchers Carole
Tavris & Elliot Aronson explain "Why we justify foolish beliefs, bad decisions,
and hurtful acts".
Co-author Elliot Aronson discusses "Why It's Hard
to Admit to Being Wrong" on National Public Radio (NPR). When you
