Bibliography:Notes
This is where you will compile the bibliography for your Wikipedia assignment. Please refer to the following resources for help:

Pronin, Emily, Thomas Gilovich, and Less Ross. 2004. “Objectivity in the Eye of the Beholder: Divergent Perceptions of Bias in Self versus Others.” Psychological Review 111(3): 781–99

-This doesn't talk as much about mechanism's but what adds to motivational reasoning before and after acts are done by an individual.

Epley, Nicholas, and Thomas Gilovich. 2016. "The Mechanics of Motivated Reasoning." Journal of Economic Perspectives, 30 (3): 133-40.

-gives a different perspective on motivational reasoning mechanisms, talks about goal orientated mechanisms, but talks much about gathering preferred information as a way to meet the goal of one's own reasoning. Could add, might help flesh out that paragraph

Gilovich, T. (1991). How we know what isn't so: The fallibility of human reason in everyday life. New York, NY, US: Free Press.

-talks about the human need to put order where random entropy exists. Could be used as an introduction as to why humans engage in motivated reasoning, instead of just focusing the 'how.'
