Deciding for One or Deciding for Many

Gene V. Glass gives examples from his personal and professional life to develop his point that although he uses rationality to persuade others to accept his evaluations, he believes most of his personal evaluations are based on emotions and responses to psychological stress. He believes that others too, if they are honest, will acknowledge that the unconscious outweighs data analysis in their personal evaluations. An important implication of these findings is that we ought to be aware of our own perceptions, interpretations, emotions, and deepest motivations and of ways we are allowing them to impact our evaluations in our personal lives as well as in our profession.
