O knihe
Confirmation bias is an irrational tendency to search for, interpret or remember information in a way that confirms preconceptions or working hypotheses. It is a type of cognitive bias and a systematic error of inductive reasoning. This bias in information processing is different from the behavioral confirmation effect (also called self-fulfilling prophecy), in which people's expectations influence their own behavior. People can reinforce their existing attitudes by selectively collecting new evidence, by interpreting evidence in a biased way or by selectively recalling information from memory. Some psychologists use "confirmation bias" for any of these three processes, while others restrict the term to selective collection of evidence, using assimilation bias for biased interpretation. In many situations, people avoid confirmation bias and test hypotheses in a genuinely informative way. The biases appear in particular for issues that are emotionally significant (including some personal and political topics) and for established beliefs which shape the individual's expectations.
