Re: A psychology question...or maybe an ethics question. Or both.

Could you give us an example, that would, for me, be a bit easier to answer. Generally, I think that it depends on how much they could have done to stop it and if and how capable they were to not make the mistake. Though keep in mind that a lot of what we do and how we act are based on environmental factors currently or recently; if I made a mistake because I was upset because of something earlier but you didn't know that you could think that it was a mistake that revealed my character that I would have not made given any other circumstances.

Okay, here's the example; it comes from EtiquetteHell and like a lot of things at that site, it's about a wedding.

This couple are getting married. The groom's sister is one of the bridesmaids.

The groom's sister was born with the lower half of one arm absent below the elbow. Growing up, she had a series of prosthetic arms, but none of them was particularly functional, and all of them were uncomfortable or downright painful to wear. As an adult, she wore her last prosthesis less and less until she finally dispensed with them altogether, and managed more or less well one-handed.

The bride chooses dresses with a low-cut bodice and a halter top for the other bridesmaids, but wants to put the groom's sister in a high-necked dress with long sleeves. Because she wants the prosthetic arm hidden.

The groom's sister explains that she never wears the prosthetic arm anymore and wasn't planning on wearing it at the wedding, and she would like to wear the same dress the other bridesmaids are wearing. The bride absolutely insists: if the groom's sister won't wear the prosthetic arm and the long-sleeved dress to cover it, the bride doesn't want her in the wedding party. In fact, if she doesn't wear the prosthetic arm, the bride makes it clear that she doesn't want her at the wedding. The groom's sister refuses, and the bride promptly un-invites her. She tells the groom that she and his sister had a spat over the bridesmaids' dresses, but not why.

So is this a mistake on the bride's part, or is it a sign that the bride is shallow and selfish--not to mention ableist? Of course, she could learn that her behavior was unacceptable. But I think it would take a lot more than this to make her less shallow.
