MattMattPSY (talk) 02:03, 4 September 2019 (UTC) I'm not sure if this is the place to put my peer review on here about your article. Your article has quite a bit of good information, and explanations of how motivated reasoning works. Your references check out, and it's a well balanced article. It's not one-sided and it has a good format. JacobKuamoo (JacobKuamoo) 11:36, 13 October 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ulenui760 (talk • contribs)

Motivated Reasoning Lead Rough Draft
Motivated reasoning is an emotion-biased decision-making phenomenon studied in cognitive science and social psychology. This term describes the role of motivation in cognitive processes such as decision-making and attitude change in a number of paradigms. Motivated reasoning works with cognitive dissonance reduction to reduce bias between contradictory beliefs. It also plays a role in the decisions one makes regarding others objectives when guided towards one’s own outcome. Motivated Reasoning also uses evaluation of evidence to guide individuals to their end decisions. •	Cognitive dissonance reduction[1] •	Beliefs about others on whom one's own outcomes depend[1] •	Evaluation of evidence related to one's own outcomes[1]

Before, it was just a short definition and bullet points, I am working to expand the intro to give a quick guide for the reader who comes to see what it is, but does not have time to read the whole article. MattMattPSY (talk) 06:14, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
