Afghanistan – touch down in flight. Strikingly Beautiful Photos of Kenya. Last we heard from photographer Diego Arroyo, he was traveling throughout Southeast Asia, capturing heartwarmingly beautiful portraits of strangers all across the land. On a recent trip to Kenya, Arroyo again wanted to portray the beauty of the country and its people, but this time he also wanted to check out the work some of his good friends were doing in a small town called Lamu.
As he tells us, "Years ago they founded Anidan, an NGO (non-governmental organization) that takes care of the needs of local children. On the island of Lamu, off the northern coast, they built a shelter where they now house one hundred children, but feed, dress, care for and educate over two hundred. "It was a journey full of adventures and enriching experiences where I tried to depict the most real Kenya, the one you can't easily find on the tourist routes. I especially enjoyed spending some days with the Samburu, semi-nomadic pastorialists related but distinct to the Maasai. Diego Arroyo's website. Illusion of transparency. The illusion of transparency is a tendency for people to overestimate the degree to which their personal mental state is known by others. Another manifestation of the illusion of transparency (sometimes called the observer's illusion of transparency) is a tendency for people to overestimate how well they understand others' personal mental states.
This cognitive bias is similar to the illusion of asymmetric insight. Experimental support[edit] Psychologist Elizabeth Newton created a simple test that she regarded as an illustration of the phenomenon. She would tap out a well-known song, such as "Happy Birthday" or the national anthem, with her finger and have the test subject guess the song. People usually estimate that the song will be guessed correctly in about 50 percent of the tests, but only 3 percent pick the correct song. Public speaking and stage fright[edit] The illusion of transparency is commonly prominent in public speakers. The bystander effect[edit] See also[edit] Footnotes. Attribution (psychology) The spotlight effect is a common form of social anxiety that causes people to have a tendency to overestimate the extent to which surrounding others notice aspects of one's appearance or behavior, and the extent to which they are aware of it. The spotlight effect can lead people to feelings of paranoia and self-doubt.
This also makes people believe that they will be judged harshly based on their failures. Overall, the spotlight effect explains how people overestimate the amount of attention that is focused on them in group settings.[1] Importance[edit] The importance of the spotlight effect is that it allows people to understand that even during embarrassing moments, others around them are not judging their actions as harshly as they think they are.
Eventually when people start to understand the concept of this phenomenon, they will feel more comfortable with themselves when they are caught in a blunder surrounded by people.[2] History[edit] Ties to other psychological concepts[edit] The Greatest Speech Ever Made.
