![]() ![]() Schweitzer: Yes, it’s true for us - even going back and forth taking turns writing and revising. In fact, it even exists for co-authors, right? This idea that we’re competing and cooperating all of the time exists for every relationship. Now to keep both those lenses and describe this idea - there’s a tension between them and a balance between them - it makes the world a little bit more complex, although obviously more realistic. We miss the mark oftentimes because it’s really easy to come up with a theory that says, “We are born to compete.” It’s also very easy to come up with the alternative theory, “We have an innate instinct for empathy.” Even as academics we’re trying to simplify the world to try to understand it, and it’s easy to take that one lens. Galinsky: As academics, we also do that natural categorization when we construct our theories. That extends to thinking about people as either our friends or our foes….
