Positive and negative belief biases
- A positive belief bias involves increased acceptance of believable conclusions. Accordingly, the positive belief bias causes people to accept arguments that are logically unsound and conclusions that are false, when they align with people’s preexisting beliefs.
- A negative belief bias involves increased rejection of unbelievable conclusions. Accordingly, the negative belief bias causes people to reject arguments that are sound and conclusions that are true, when they contradict people’s preexisting beliefs.
