A Short Exercise:
If someone were to make a statement to you, for example, about your performance: which of these two statements would you prefer?
You get it right most of the time
You mess it up every once in a while.
These two statements are intended for the same purpose, except you think otherwise.
From the statements above, it’s clear that the first one is more positive and emphasizes the achievements of the individual, while the second tends to highlight his/her errors, which only occur once in a while. We would look further into this, later in our study.
