Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 28, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 28, 2019 Confirmation bias From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses.[1] It is a type of cognitive bias and a systematic error of inductive reasoning. People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias is of particular current interest because of the increasing polarisation between left-wing and right-wing political viewpoints, and the gullible acceptance of the current rapid spread of fake news.[2] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
