What is bias and how does it affect our decisions?

Bias refers to a tendency to favor one perspective over another, which can lead to skewed decision-making.

Can you give me examples of different types of bias?

Sure! Some common types 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 reduce bias in our decision-making?

To reduce bias, we can seek diverse perspectives, question our assumptions, and use data-driven approaches to inform our choices.

Is bias always negative?

Not necessarily. While bias can lead to poor decisions, it can also help us make quick judgments in certain situations.
