Which statement describes 'confirmation bias'?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Confirmation bias is a cognitive bias that causes people to pay more attention to facts that agree with their current opinions and ignore or discount facts that contradict them. Confirmation bias can affect how people perceive, interpret, and remember information, as well as how they make decisions and judgments. Confirmation bias can hinder learning and change, as people may resist or reject new information that challenges their existing beliefs or assumptions.

Confirmation bias? Isn't that when you're so stubborn, you'd rather be wrong than admit you were mistaken? Guilty as charged!

Confirmation bias? That's when you're so convinced you're right, you ignore anything that proves you wrong. Happens to me all the time!

I feel like confirmation bias has something to do with how we interpret data to fit our opinions, but I might be mixing it up with something else.

I remember a practice question about how people ignore evidence that contradicts their views. Is that related to confirmation bias?

I'm not 100% sure about confirmation bias, but I think it has something to do with the way people unconsciously favor information that fits their existing beliefs. I'll take a minute to review my notes and see if I can come up with a clear explanation for this.

Okay, confirmation bias - I remember learning about this in my psychology class. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the tendency to seek out or interpret information in a way that supports your preexisting views. I'll write down what I think the definition is and see how it matches up.

Hmm, confirmation bias... I'm a little fuzzy on the exact definition. I'll try to think of some examples that might help jog my memory, and then I'll make my best guess for the answer.
