Psychology of the Mind
In life, we all think we are perfect until we meet a contradictory factor that puts our
thoughts into doubt. What is not clear to this date is what causes our human minds being self-
fulfilling or rather favor some actions or ideas over others. This fact is still a psychology mystery
that requires further study. However, there is a way this bias factor of our brains can be
controlled and managed. Considering these are subconscious thoughts and actions that tend to
come out without necessarily having a reasonable driving factor compelling them, it's hard first
to notice themselves doing (Hewstone, Jonas, & Stroebe, 2015).
Some of these thoughts have been discussed by various psychologists such as
(McRaney, 2012) heuristic, logical fallacies and cognitive biases. Heuristic are the thoughts
that make us conclude fast to problems we perceive to know the answers to and end up making
uninformed decisions. The hastiness in making such decisions leads to a high probability of
doing things incorrectly. Cognitive biases on the other hand are human tendencies which make
us reach incorrect conclusions. This fact applies whereby one tends to favor one thought over the
other, either unknowingly or knowingly, leading to biasness. Logical fallacies are the wishful
thoughts that make us assume important arguments in our mind and end up making wrong
decisions (Bennett, 2017).
A Doctor of Business Administration program is a leadership-oriented program that
prepares individuals for senior positions in the business world. It requires adequate knowledge in
dealing with psychological dilemmas and understanding of human thoughts and the basis on
which humans form some of their thoughts.
