Oh no, you made the wrong decision! Don\u2019t be upset, everyone makes bad decisions from time to time. In fact, everyone really makes bad decisions, it is even scientifically proven. But why exactly do we make these bad decisions?<\/p>\n

\"SWRREC0K3A\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It turns out it is not a DNA thing, but a psychological flaw instead. Research suggests that there are some biases that affect our decision-making process. And here are some of them:<\/p>\n

Choice-supportive Bias<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now this type is pretty simple. You make a choice. After you make that choice, your brain thinks it is flawless. Somehow your brain believes this decision is a good decision because you choose it and you feel very positive about it. Maybe our choice is problematic, but your brain won\u2019t tell you that. Be careful, your brain might be your enemy.<\/p>\n

Confirmation Bias<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sometimes we already have some opinions. And suddenly we get new information that tells us we are very, very wrong. But do you know what we do? We do not listen to that information. Because we must be right and that information is sure to be wrong. Be smart, brain.<\/p>\n

Overconfidence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overconfidence, I love this word. It means you are too confident, you believe in yourself way too much. You overdo it. So you believe in yourself so much that you take bigger risks than you can actually handle. And boom! You shouldn\u2019t believe in yourself that much.<\/p>\n

Bandwagon Effect<\/strong><\/h2>\n

OK, read very carefully. Now this one happens a lot. In this bias, we tend to believe something because there are a huge number of people believing in that, too. There are too many people who do not believe in climate change ad this makes us think climate change is not serious. It is very serious, we just don\u2019t see it clearly because of this effect.<\/p>\n

Vocabulary<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To prove: Show the truth by evidence<\/p>\n

Bias: Usually unfair prejudice against someone or something<\/p>\n

Suggest: Put some idea forward for someone<\/p>\n

Overdo: Doing something too much<\/p>\n

Flawless: Without flaw or fault<\/p>\n
