Philip Tetlock on Conflicts - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 240 Conflicts/Tetlock/D’Agostino: (...) 'people are reluctant decision makers who do their damnedest to minimize cognitive effort, emotional dissonance, and moral angst by denying that important values conflict' (Tetlock 2000(1): 240). [Tetlock] continues: ‚People will be slow to recognize that core values clash; they will rely on mental shortcuts that eliminate direct comparisons between clashing values; they will engage in the dissonance-reduction strategy of bolstering to reduce the stress of those value conflicts they are forced to acknowledge; and they will resort to decision- evasion tactics, such as buck-passing, procrastination, and obfuscation, to escape responsibility for making choices. ‚(2000(1):240) Behavior/diversity/D’Agostino: (The psychic tendencies that Tetlock refers to can make it hard to achieve political compromise, an important mechanism in the liberal repertoire.) >Diversity/D’Agostino. 1.
