Hello、munejyuka。

The other day、I used the term status quo bias.。Simply put、It is better to continue in the same situation as now.、It is the feeling that you will not fail.。

There seem to be many types of bias.、This time I would like to introduce two。

heuristic bias

The first is heuristic bias.。You may not hear it often。Translating the heuristic into Japanese、

rule of thumb

is。

When choosing without thinking、People make decisions according to some rules.。

For example、

・When a major earthquake occurs, stock up on disaster prevention goods and emergency food.
(Actually, there is no change in the probability of an earthquake occurring.)

・I buy the one with the same price but with a discount.

・When I buy spicy food, I look for red packaging.

Etc。

when making some decision、The processes we use unconsciously are called heuristics.。
If you ask me, I think there are many people who have had an experience like this.。

confirmation bias

The second is confirmation bias.。This may also be a word you don't hear very often.。

What is confirmation bias?、Unconsciously gathering only information that is convenient for you and ignoring information that disproves it.、It is a tendency to not try to collect。

For example:。

・Blood type diagnosis → Type A is methodical、Type B people go at their own pace...etc.

・When discussing the division of housework between husband and wife、We only remember each other's work.、“My husband (wife) does nothing.”、I can only see things that are convenient for me

biased、convenient for me、Not just good information、Collecting various information “consciously”、Confirmation bias needs to be corrected。
There are actually type A people who are not methodical.。

Just being aware of the existence of these two biases makes a big difference.

Both heuristic bias and confirmation bias are to some extent、It works unconsciously。

Just knowing the existence of these two biases、I think it will make a big difference when making future decisions.。

“Is there confirmation bias in this decision?”

Just by being aware of、You may be able to analyze it from a different angle.。

I would like to use it in my future life! !
