Confirmation Bias and Naive Realism | Sven Van de Wetering & Flora Oswald | TEDxAbbotsford

Disagreement is a part of life, however our natural instinct to it is quite harmful. Sven looks into details of what happens when we disagree and why we should embrace it. Sven van de Wetering received a Ph.D. in psychology from SFU after also studying at UBC, Concordia University, and Albert-Ludwigs Universität in Freiburg, Germany. He teaches a wide range of courses in psychology at UFV. He is currently developing a course in heuristics, biases, and critical thinking, and is writing a book on psychology and critical thinking that is intended to accompany that course.

Flora graduated from the University of The Fraser Valley in 2018 with a degree in Psychology (hons), receiving the Governor General’s Silver Medal as well as departmental awards in both Psychology and Sociology. Flora assisted in the conceptualization, development and implementation of a pilot course on the psychology of critical thinking. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
