Understanding why people assign blame can help improve your own relationship. Here's how, by swhitbo
People have a tendency to judge who's to blame in an accident by the outcome, not the individual's intent.
Your day was off to a pretty good start as you began to check some big chores off your to-do list. One of these chores was to rearrange a storage cabinet containing your finest glassware used only for special occasions. The shelves were higher than you could reach, though, so you shouted out to your partner to ask for a hand. Your partner gives you a little lift, but much to your dismay, a tumbler goes tumbling to the floor and splinters into pieces.
However, when the third factor of negligence comes into play, all bets are off. What determines whether an unintentional accident is blameworthy depends on whether the individual appears to have acted carelessly. However, if no accident occurs even if the person is negligent, then that individual is off the hook as long as there were no ill intentions.
One autumn afternoon, Cynthia is driving home from getting lunch. Her two brothers are in the car with her. As they get close to their home, they see a very large leaf pile on the side of the road, the biggest they have seen all season. Clearly, then, the data supported the study's predictions that a negative outcome dominates people’s judgments of whether the morally “unlucky” person should be blamed, punished, and considered negligent. There are two sides to this situation.
