In this podcast episode, Tomeria Jordan, host of The Perspective View Podcast, delves into the cognitive bias known as confirmation bias. Our brains are wired to seek out and interpret information that confirms our pre-existing beliefs or hypotheses, while ignoring or discounting information that contradicts them. This can have a significant impact on our decision-making and understanding of facts, leading to a distorted view of reality. She explores how confirmation bias manifests in different aspects of our lives, including politics and scientific research. She also highlights a landmark study conducted by researchers at Stanford University in 1979 that highlights the impact of confirmation bias on our perceptions and judgments. Finally, she offers practical tips on how to overcome confirmation bias and actively seek out information that challenges our beliefs, helping us make more informed decisions and have a more accurate understanding of the world around us. Tune in to learn more about this important topic.
