- Confirmation bias is the tendency of people to favor information that confirms their existing beliefs or hypotheses. - Confirmation bias happens when a person gives more weight to evidence that confirms their beliefs and undervalues evidence that could disprove it. - People display this bias when they gather or recall information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. - The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs.
