"The greatest deception that men suffer is from their own opinions," declared Leonardo Da Vinci. Triandis (emeritus, psychology, U. of Illinois) agrees and sees the widespread tendency of self-deception as explanatory of a wide range of contemporary problems concerning politics, religion, and terrorism. After first seeking to demonstrate the widespread nature of self-deception and its harmful effects on well-being, he discusses cultural similarities and differences of individualist and collective self-deception, the ways that self-deception leads to poor information processing in politics, the self- deception of religion and the paradoxical human need for spirituality, the kinds of self- deception among terrorists, and means to decrease self-deception.
