Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, and remember information in ways that support what you already believe.
It makes people give more weight to evidence that confirms their views while ignoring or downplaying evidence that challenges them.
This bias can shape how we learn, make decisions, and judge situations—often without us realizing it.
It’s especially strong when beliefs are tied to emotions, identity, or past experiences.
Being aware of confirmation bias helps us question our assumptions and seek out more balanced information.
