Hypocrisy has been described alongside lack of sincerity, as a characteristic which attracts particular opprobrium in the modern age.Many belief systems condemn behaviours related to hypocrisy.In some translations of the Book of Job, the Hebrew word chaneph is rendered as "hypocrite," though it usually means "godless" or "profane."In the Christian Bible, Jesus condemns the scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites in the passage known as the Woes of the Pharisees.In the Buddhist text Dhammapada, Gautama Buddha condemns a man who takes the appearance of an ascetic but is full of passions within.Psychology of hypocrisy
In psychology, hypocritical behavior is closely related to the fundamental attribution error: individuals are more likely to explain their own actions by their environment, yet they attribute the actions of others to 'innate characteristics', thus leading towards judging others while justifying ones' own actions.This is called Psychological projection.People understand vices which they are struggling to overcome or have overcome in the past.There may be an element of hypocrisy as well if the actors do not readily admit to themselves how far they are or have been subject to these vices.Often, if the hypocrisy act is carried out too long, one may get the impression that they are serious.Another form of serious hypocrisy that was intended to be funny is when the listener does not realize that it is humor, or when the speaker insults the listener.The Simpsons producer Al Jean.Hypocrisy can also be humorous unintentionally, as when a man who often condemns others for moral failures claims that having sexual relations with someone other than his wife is acceptable in certain circumstances, using the justification "it's not adultery if your wife is in the room."Theoretical issues
Multiple theories of hypocrisy have been proposed.The conflict caused by contradiction can lead to differing outcomes.In organizational studies, theorists like Nils Brunsson have discussed the paradox of the morality of hypocrisy.Brunsson reasons that, despite conventional social reactions to it, hypocrisy may be an essential guard against fanaticism, and may be to the benefit of high values and moral behaviour.In the field of international relations scholars such as Krasner have suggested that sovereignty, specifically as brought about by the Peace of Westphalia, reaffirmed the principle cuius regio, eius religio, meaning that the ruler's faith became the official denomination of his state.Krasner calls this a system of "organized hypocrisy."Rousseau and the Modern Cult of Sincerity."What is the use of platted hair, O fool!Within thee there is ravening, but the outside thou makest clean."And of mankind are some who say, 'We believe in God and the Last Day,' when they believe not.They think to beguile God and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not.In their hearts is a disease, and God increases their disease.And when it is said to them, 'Make not mischief on the earth,' they say, 'We are only peacemakers.The attribution of attitudes.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.See Copyrights for details. |
