Myside bias, also known as confirmation bias, is a situation where people evaluate and generate evidence in a manner that is biased towards their own prior opinions or attitudes. People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs. The studies examined below examine myside bias and several predictors and trends related to it.
