Draft:Action Bias

Action Bias is the idea that one would rather perform an action that could have a negative outcome than not do anything that could result in both a positive or negative outcome. The best example of this can be seen from professional goalkeepers during penalty kicks. While it has been statistically proven that standing in the middle of the goal gives a better chance to save a shot, they still would rather dive to the left or right showing they made some action or attempt at making a save. This bias can be seen in all forms of people's lives including their political, economic, and family.
