In this video Harper Murray’s testimony speaks for all athletes’ mental health. The story hits hard because it’s built from personal experience; her voice, her pain, and her truth. That same emotional power opens the door to confirmation bias, where only the moments that support her shine are seen, while everything else turns dark behind her smile and accomplishments.

This part of her story pulls the audience in so deeply that they stop questioning and start feeling. Her perspective becomes the only reality they see. The bias doesn’t just shape the story it shapes how viewers think, judge, and react. It turns one person’s experience into a universal truth, making the audience believe they fully understand the situation even though they’ve only seen one side. It’s powerful, moving, and it shows how emotion can guide perception more than evidence ever could.

2. This post on Threads most likely comes from the poster's own experience in the gym or from intuition. There is no source cited or evident authority on the topic, so this person cannot be verified as an authority figure on the subject of weightlifting.

3. One bias that is present in this post is confirmation bias/cherry picking.

4. I say this because it is possible that there are other, better exercises out there to reduce chest fat (or perhaps these ones don't even work well at all), but the poster only shows evidence to support these exercises being useful. This makes the audience more likely to assume that these exercises are perfect for their goals, rather than make an educated decision and try to make their own workout routine.

The author of this post (Hailey Bieber) is promoting her own skincare line, as well as showcasing her skin care routine because she is known for her ‘glass skin’. The author is relying on the authority she has over other people to want to purchase her skin care products because of her platform as well as her good skin.

She is most likely utilizing confirmation bias, because she is going to get more sales of her products from this post, as well as potentially gain more fans in posting about both her skincare routine and products she used.

This potential bias could influence the audience's decision-making process because they are seeing how good her skin looks, so they will want to purchase her products/ the products she is using. This could be a positive or a negative, because she might just have very good skin genetically, not because of her personal skincare line/ products.

2. The author is relying on personal experience to make the argument that cooling your hands before weight-lifting will increase ability/performance.

3. Confirmation Bias/Cherry Picking

4. It is very possible that the author of the post cherry picked two gym sessions, to illustrate a narrative that cooling your palms makes you lift more weight. He would have this bias because the idea would 1. get more engagement on his post, because it is more interesting for a novel technique to work than for it not work 2. Please the sponsor of the post, a palm cooling device company. This would definetly influence audience perception and decision making, as it would lead them to believe that this is a viable strategy to increase gym performance.

The article I selected is from Alix Earle. She is ultimately focusing on personal experiences in her post. A significant bias she is likely going to have within her post is driven by her demographic. She is a beautiful, young blonde woman, so she may be afforded privileges that others are not. Others may believe that a trip to Botswana will be met with the same level of satisfaction, but she may receive different levels of treatment based on how she looks.

Understanding this type of bias may ultimately lead viewers to have a different view on her trip to Botswana. Ultimately, she appears to be having a fun time. Regardless though, this is a business trip. She has an entourage around her the entire time. Locals are catering to her every need. By recognizing this bias, I believe others will peel back this personal experience.

Alix Earle on Instagram: "Getting to travel to Botswana for @si_swimsuit is an experience I’ll never forget. We were blessed with the surroundings of nothing but pure nature and wildlife. There was a sense of peace and disconnection being there. Although I was there for a short amount of time it’s a feeling I try to channel when feeling overwhelmed. At the time we shot I was going through a lot emotionally and getting to travel across the world and find such a grounding/peaceful feeling was somehow so healing. On the way back from this trip I traveled alone, sat at lunch with strangers, and it was such a beautiful way to start the year. Getting to share these memories with the amazing SI team and girls is so special 🥺🤍 forever grateful to have such a beautiful memory live on with these photos.

Instagram Women’s Equality Post

The author of this Instagram post is relying on Intuition and Authority. The post uses motivational language and empowering themes about women’s rights and equality to encourage support for gender equality. Instead of using research studies or statistics, the message appeals to emotions, shared values, and beliefs about fairness and empowerment.

One bias shown in the post is confirmation bias. People who already support women’s equality are more likely to agree with and share the message because it supports beliefs they already have. The post focuses mostly on positive messages about empowerment and advocacy while leaving out opposing viewpoints or criticisms.

The reasoning and bias in the post could influence the audience by creating an emotional connection to the topic. Supporters of women’s equality may feel inspired to repost or support similar movements online. The positive and motivational tone may also strengthen existing opinions and encourage more advocacy for women’s rights.

- The author is mainly relying on Personal Experience. In the post, the author explains that they lost about 70 pounds and maintained the weight loss while dealing with health conditions like PCOS, heart issues, and fibromyalgia. They describe their own workout average, food habits, and tracking routine as evidence that fitness does not always require expensive programs or intense daily workouts.

- One bias present is survivorship bias. The author’s experience is successful, so the post may unintentionally make it seem like similar results are realistic for most people if they just stay consistent.
- Because the post is encouraging and based on a real success story, readers may feel motivated to start exercising, track their food, or stop believing that they need expensive fitness plans.

Becoming and staying well/fit don’t require anywhere near as much effort or money as a lot of fitness influencers say. Even with chronic health conditions, just be honest with yourself, and keep trying your best…even if your best is little. Little over time makes a big difference! : r/loseit
