This is Queen Mary's of Romania guest hall from the Cotroceni Museum of Bucharest( a must see if you're in the city!). On a personal level, it's the set of some insights and confirmations I had last week.We went there for a visit with the kids and the guide asked the audience( average age: 50s, the museum type of goers crowd): what do you think the Queen did for relaxation here? It was my 7 year old son who answered first, confidently suggesting massages. This sparkled a little debate in the group .The guide than dismissed his suggestion and next my son went quickly for bubble baths- at this point I was barely holding my 🤣. It was not that either, turns out the Queen liked entertaining guests, reading and aroma therapy. Why did my son made those assumptions? Because I enjoy massages and bubble baths, and he inferrred quickly the Queen might have, as well. Based on a very limited experience of what female relaxation looks like, he extended it to a famous figure of which he knew nothing of. His answers were not dismissed however, but were the basis of conversation for the other visitors. Besides getting to know my son's inferential abilities, the key takeaways/ confirmations for me were: 1. Confidence does not always equal knowledge 2. In an ambiguous context, where people do not know each other, it's not always the wisest or more knowledgeable who speaks first- might be the exact opposite 3. What the first person says is often taken into consideration and reflected upon- regardless of point 1. 4. Queen Mary and I do have some things in common- enjoyment of reading and aromatherapy. #lessons #socialpsychologyinaction
any answer is better than no answer. sometimes guessing is the best option. (it's also fast) more knowledge you can only get from an expert committee/ but the question is: can you get better than an expert committee? the theory says yes. not much, it's hard but you can. one option here is also guessing. and remember, your answer cannot be better than Bayes error :P
