Introduction
The conjunction fallacies may often happen in our everyday life because of the people’s striving to generalize the incoming information, and thus people often mistake in their conclusions. Thus, the example of the probable conjunction fallacies in hiring people for the work in a fast food restaurant (so for any restaurant, or the place, where team work is needed): He/ She was fired from the previous place of work because of conflict with some other team member, so he/ she is conflict person. But it may be that the conflict person is the other team member – the opposite party to the conflict.
Another example is when one had been fired from several places because of the reasons close to irresponsibility. HR managers prefer not to hire such people, but person might have a wish to get another chance. Such people just need to be interested in their work and stimulated for good job. If the company is not able to stimulate the staff, it may face huge turnover.
The last, but not the least is the external unattractiveness. May be the most common case is when the future workers are suited by the HR manager by appearance. This is the most non-professional approach, but unfortunately is widely applied.
Hypothesis on the behavior
For the smokers: if a person does not go for a smoking break with the other team members – he/ she is non-communicative. Such mistaking generalization may occur in the smoking teams, but on the other hand one just may not complete the work in time, and thus, when everyone smokes, stay to continue working.
Another example on the appearance – if one is unattractive, and moreover with tough voice, one is considered cruel and unsociable. The fact is, such approach and conclusions by the other people may make one unsociable, and offended for the whole world, but understanding makes everyone kind-hearted.
The most fallacies take place during the first moments of acquaintance with people. It is said, that the first impression is always wrong, but not everyone follows this rule.
Correction of the conjunction fallacies on behavior
The judgments and such conjunction fallacies may be corrected either by offering a person another chance to correct or prove everybody’s mistake, or changing one’s own approach to people, and communicating to them. Most may reveal the unexpected features.
The perpetuation of the fallacies happen, as it had been mentioned above, because of the people’s ability to generalize the information, and in some measure because of comprehending the facts by emotions but not reason, and it is known, that emotions are always mistaken in judgments.
Conclusion
As it may be seen of the hypothesis, the conjunction fallacies in human behavior appear because of people’s prejudices, and non-wishing to use reason. This may be corrected only by the use of good logic in the everyday life, and people also need to be tolerant to each other.
