Answer:People may be skeptical about evidence that goes against their directional goal.

Explanation:

Directional goals are those goals in which we have set ourselves a specific direction that we will follow to get to them and we are very much motivated to do so in a way that we will tune our thinking , narrowing it to fit in that direction and choosing only the beliefs which support that goal we want to reach. These are goals we are more driven and motivated to achieve such that anything that seems to indicate the opposite of reaching them we will surely neglect that thing and not believe it.

Scepticism comes with the fact that the person believes so much that they will achieve these goals so they can't accept anything that says otherwise.
