Question

The confirmation bias refers to the tendency to a. use heuristics instead of algorithms to solve problems. b. judge the likelihood of events on the basis of how easily we can remember examples of them. c. search for information that supports our preconceptions. d. overestimate the degree to which other people share our beliefs. e. overestimate the accuracy of our beliefs and judgments.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Confirmation bias is the likelihood to find out, recount or agree with information that supports our beliefs and ideas.

A person with confirmation bias will tend to believe reports that supports his opinion rather than searching actual facts.

Hence, they will most likely search about information that supports their preconceptions, whether it is proven true or not.
