Description

This guide explains various cognitive biases that affect human thinking and decision-making. It covers biases such as status quo bias, apophenia, framing effect, confirmation bias, hindsight bias, anchoring bias, misinformation effect, actor-observer bias, false consensus effect, halo effect, self-serving bias, availability heuristic, optimism bias, and strategies to mitigate them. The biases influence perceptions, judgments, and behaviors, often leading to errors. Understanding these biases helps improve critical thinking and decision-making by encouraging diverse perspectives, slowing down decisions, and questioning initial impressions.

These all explain much and are connected to the reason for disability biases
desirability bias is worth looking at too.
