How does bias affect our decision-making processes?

How does bias affect our decision-making processes?

Bias can significantly influence our decisions by skewing our perception and leading us to make irrational choices.

Can you give me some examples of biases that impact decisions?

Sure! Common biases include confirmation bias, where we favor information that confirms our beliefs, and anchoring bias, where we rely too heavily on the first piece of information we encounter.

How can we mitigate these biases in our decision-making?

To mitigate biases, we can seek diverse perspectives, question our assumptions, and use structured decision-making processes.

Are there any tools or techniques to help with this?

Yes, techniques like the 'Six Thinking Hats' method and decision matrices can help structure our thinking and reduce bias.
