In one study, four f ictitious studies on capital punishment, each with serious flaws, were
given to subjects that felt strongly either for or against capital punishment. People were much
more likely to notice the flaws in the studies that contested their point of view, rather than thestudies that supported it. For this, and other experiments establishing this bias, see S
