Answer 1

Answer:

belief perseverance              

Explanation:

Belief perseverance: In psychology, the term belief perseverance is defined as the propensity of an individual to hold on his or her former beliefs even after encountering new information that generally disconfirms the earlier beliefs.

An individual who is experiencing belief perseverance tends to think that whatever he or she is thinking or holding the belief is true in regards to something, therefore whenever a person finds a valid contradiction about his or her belief then the person chooses to dismiss, discredit, or misinterpret.
