On Liu's extramarital sexual events from the perspective of social psychology

Recently, Liu pleaded guilty to a criminal case of alleged sexual assault in the United States. The US prosecutor decided not to prosecute, and Liu immediately issued a public apology statement. To sum up, Liu's extramarital affair did happen, but it was basically voluntary, so people's officials no longer asked whether he was suspected of criminal responsibility.

For Liu Jiangdong, it is estimated that there is something wrong with the original routine operation this time. He must be remorseful in his heart and complain that these people are ineffective. The cause and effect of this matter can also be proved. This is not so much Liu's extramarital affair as it is similar to the courtship common among men in ancient China, or a one-night stand that may happen in a bar.

However, this extramarital one-night stand deviated from the preset track, which made Liu's face pale and made the people who ate melons full of joy. Everyone talked more after dinner, which increased their favorite information. From a psychological point of view, this is indeed the significance of this matter. There is nothing new under the sun.

From a psychological point of view, the biggest feature of this matter is that it does not carry out moral evaluation, which is the biggest difference from the conventional thinking of the public. They are all spectators, but there must be differences in perspective, otherwise there is no need for psychological perspective. By contrast, we can recall Dānlín's public apology for cheating. "As a man, I have nothing to say about my infidelity."

Dānlín had nothing to say, but it was because he wanted to say too much that he couldn't say it. Of course, he dare not say, and he is not qualified to say. Therefore, we must look at Dānlín with new eyes.

Let's review the most important theory of social psychology through embarrassing words and boring Liu incident. It can also be used as a vivid case to promote the understanding of psychological knowledge and the construction of schema.

From the perspective of social psychology, social events cannot be separated from Lei Wen's formula, that is, to explain a person's behavior, we should interpret it from two aspects: social situation and personal factors. Simply put, both internal and external factors should be considered, and both are indispensable. Philosophically, it is said that "external cause works through internal cause", and psychologically, it is said that "internal cause and external cause are actually two sides of an organic whole and unity of opposites".

I've talked so much, but I just want to pass the boredom through this matter. What I really want to say is that the occurrence of social events should not be simply explained, but should see individual human factors, such as subjective construction explanations such as reward, rationalization and attribution, as well as huge environmental factors, such as role, conformity, obedience, decentralized responsibility and so on.
