How To Outsmart The Confirmation Bias? A Health Psychology And Cognitive Psychology Podcast Episode.

Out of all the thinking biases we learn about from cognitive psychology, it is the confirmation bias that could be a massive threat to us. The confirmation bias influences people to accept information that confirms their beliefs and attitudes whilst getting them to dislike and avoid any opposing information. Not only does this lead to the formation of echo chambers, health and social misinformation and a lot of other negative side effects for a person, but this can have a lot of negative outcomes for society as a whole. Therefore, in this cognitive psychology podcast episode, you’ll learn about how to outsmart confirmation bias. If you enjoy cognitive psychology, social psychology and learning about thinking then you’ll love today’s episode.
