CONFIRMATION BIAS - what it is, and how it influences our judgements and decisions - PSYCHOLOGY

What is confirmation bias? How does it affect our opinions, judgments, and decisions? This video explains common examples of the psychological phenomenon "confirmation bias" and how it creates the tendency for us to to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports our prior beliefs or values. Unfortunately, it can also have negative consequences in our life such as leading us to hold on to outdated, illogical or faulty beliefs or opinions, or keep us thinking and living in a "bubble". We can display this bias when we select information that supports our views, ignoring contrary information, or when we interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting our existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. While confirmation bias cannot be eliminated entirely, it can be managed by having an awareness of the tendency and calling upon our critical thinking skills to help us question our judgement and opinions. I truly hope you find the video helpful!
