What causes rejection of believing evidence when it contradicts a person's beliefs?
That makes sense. But why do people experience confirmation bias in the first place?
Confirmation bias can arise from a variety of sources, including cognitive limitations and social influences. People may have a limited capacity to process and analyze information, which can lead them to rely on cognitive shortcuts or stereotypes when evaluating evidence. Additionally, social factors such as group identity and social norms can shape what people believe and how they interpret new information.
