Draft:Intentionality Bias

Intentionality bias is a type of bias when someone assumes purpose behind an action otherwise ambiguous.

Research suggests that anger increases the use of intentionality bias, as does intoxication. . In a study by Rosset (2008) evidence found that when given sentences like "he hit the man with his car", subjects chose that action was "on purpose" over "by accident" when given less response time. This proposes that given less processing time, subjects will not have enough time to override their bias, and intentionality bias will increase.
