Confirmation Bias
Confirmation Bias
Confirmation bias is our tendency to seek out, interpret, and remember information that confirms what we already believeā€”while ignoring or dismissing anything that challenges it. For changemakers, this can be a major obstacle to creating real impact. It can lead us to overestimate the success of our strategies, dismiss alternative solutions, or fail to see unintended consequences. To overcome it, we must actively engage with diverse perspectives, seek out contradictory evidence, and be willing to challenge our own assumptions. True transformation starts with questioning what we think we know.
