INTRODUCTION Legal systems blend social cognition—inferences about the minds of others—with the social context.1 This is accomplished primarily through defining group boundaries. Specifically, legal systems dictate which people are governed within their jurisdiction. These people can all be considered part of the ingroup that the legal system represents. In fact, legal systems were created to facilitate people living together in large groups.2 This social contract requires people to be subject to the laws of their respective local, state, national, and international groups. Therefore, despite Rousseau’s theorizing of legal systems being created for all humanity, people governed by legal systems are assumed to belong to the relevant ingroup, however such a group is defined. -

Illusion and Well-Being: a Social Psychological Perspective on Mental Health
Psyehologlcal Bulletin Copyright 1988 by the American Psychological Association, Inc. 1988, Vol. 103, No. 2, 193-210 0033-2909/88/$00.75 Illusion and Well-Being: A Social Psychological Perspective on Mental Health Shelley E. Taylor Jonathon D. Brown University of California, Los Angeles Southern Methodist University Many prominenttheorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive self- evaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are characteris- tic of normal human thought. Moreover, these illusions appear to promote other criteria of mental health, including the ability to care about others, the ability to be happy or contented, and the ability to engage in productive and creative work. These strategies may succeed, in large part, because both the social world and cognitive-processingmechanisms impose filters on incoming information that distort it in a positive direction; negativeinformation may be isolated and represented in as unthreat- ening a manner as possible. These positive illusions may be especially useful when an individual receives negative feedback or is otherwise threatened and may be especially adaptive under these circumstances. Decades of psychological wisdom have established contact dox: How can positive misperceptions of one's self and the envi- with reality as a hallmark of mental health.
