Wisdom of ages have been saying the same.Also,thought processes and what we speak not only affects the individuals concerned , it affects the society as well.Hence, Indian Philosophy insists on speaking Truth at all times, that too in a manner that would be palatable,never to blame others, and that there should be perfect synchronization between thought ,word and deed and this is one of the basic principles of Yoga.
ScienceDaily (Nov. 22, 2009) — Merely observing someone publicly blame an individual in an organization for a problem — even when the target is innocent — greatly increases the odds that the practice of blaming others will spread with the tenacity of the H1N1 flu, according to new research from the USC Marshall School of Business and Stanford University.
Nathanael J. Fast, an assistant professor of management and organization at the USC Marshall School of Business and Larissa Tiedens, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford, conducted four different experiments and found that publicly blaming others dramatically increases the likelihood that the practice will become viral. The reason: blame spreads quickly because it triggers the perception that one’s self-image is under assault and must be protected.
The study called “Blame Contagion: The Automatic Transmission of Self-Serving Attributions” is believed to be the first to examine whether shifting blame to others is socially contagious. The results will be published in the November issue of Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.
