What causes rejection of believing evidence when it contradicts a person's beliefs?
What other factors can contribute to rejecting evidence?
Well, people may also be influenced by their social groups or the people they respect and admire. If those individuals also reject the evidence, it can provide a sense of validation for someone who is hesitant to accept the new information. In some cases, people may also simply lack the necessary knowledge or understanding to fully comprehend the evidence and its implications.
