Confirmation bias is a cognitive bias where individuals tend to seek, interpret, and remember information in ways that confirm their existing beliefs or opinions while ignoring or discounting evidence that contradicts them. This bias influences decision-making and judgment by reinforcing preconceived notions, often leading people to focus on information that aligns with their views and dismiss opposing perspectives. For example, someone who believes in a particular political ideology may pay attention only to news sources that support their views and reject those that challenge them.
This bias can have significant implications in personal, social, and professional contexts, as it limits open-mindedness and critical thinking. In science, for instance, confirmation bias can hinder objectivity by influencing researchers to favor data that supports their hypothesis while overlooking contradictory evidence. Understanding and recognizing confirmation bias is essential for improving reasoning, fostering balanced discussions, and making informed decisions based on a broader perspective.
