Definition: The tendency to process information by looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with one’s existing beliefs. This biased approach to decision making is largely unintentional and often results in ignoring inconsistent information.

This is a cognitive bias that we all suffer from. We go out of our way to look for evidence that confirms our ideas and avoid evidence that would contradict them.

Connection:
Confirmation bias is strong and widespread, occurring in several contexts. In the context of decision making, once an individual makes a decision, he or she will look for information that supports it. Information that conflicts with the decision may cause discomfort and is therefore ignored or given little consideration. People give special treatment to information that supports their personal beliefs. In studies examining the my-side bias, people were able to generate and remember more reasons supporting their side of a controversial issue than the opposing side. Only when a researcher directly asked people to generate arguments against their own beliefs were they able to do so. It is not that people are incapable of generating arguments that are counter to their beliefs but, rather, people are not motivated to do so. ]]> 2018-10-09 04:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/praj1743/igt7ni2wekxm/wish/290558120 Emotional Connections praj1743 https://padlet.com/praj1743/igt7ni2wekxm/wish/290558369

Definition: 
This is the natural human tendency to assume that, if two events or phenomena consistently occur at about the same time, then one is the cause of the other. Hence “rooster syndrome”, from the rooster who believed that his crowing caused the sun to rise.

For example, believing that the rustle in the grass is a dangerous predator when it is only the wind does not cost much, but believing that a dangerous predator is the wind may cost an animal its life]]> 2018-10-09 04:46:13 UTC https://padlet.com/praj1743/igt7ni2wekxm/wish/290561185 Red Flag: Appeal To Authority. praj1743 https://padlet.com/praj1743/igt7ni2wekxm/wish/290562166
