Definition/ Meaning/ Explanation
Also known as confirmation bias, this is a cognitive bias where there is a tendency to accept the first conclusion as the solution to a problem and remain resistant to the search for any more alternatives. The first conclusion is heavily influenced by personal biases and beliefs and is further complicated by attitude polarization.
