CONFIRMATION BIAS

DEFINITION Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's beliefs or hypotheses, while giving disproportionately less consideration to alternative possibilities.Example:Inspector Xiu Qing accuse Roy for murdering Jia Jun because she saw that he went back together with Jia Jun after the meeting at night. It was then, she confirm that Roy kill Jia Jun in his car while not knowing Mei Xin was the real murderer when he picked Mei Xin after fetching Roy back. With what she witness, she confirm that Roy kill Jia Jun.

STEREOTYPINGDEFINITIONStereotyping is defined as an "oversimplified, usually pejorative, attitude people hold toward those outside one's own experience who are different.Example:Roy was being accused for killing Jia Jun due to his bad behavior in the office. The inspector thinks that he is a bad person but Roy trying to explain that he is not the one. The inspector does not believe him.

HALO EFFECT

DEFINITIONThe halo effect is a type of cognitive bias in which our overall impression of a person influences how we feel and think about his or her character.Example:Roy said that Mei Xin called Jia Jun when they were in the car but Xiu Qing, which is the inspector but she does not believe that Mei Xin killed Jia Jun. She thinks of Mei Xin as a good police because she always does her work well and look innocent.

OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING

DEFINITIONWhen a person watches others (models) engage in behaviors and then repeating those actions (Albert Bandura) this can explain how we acquire attitudes, fears, opinions, or specific behaviors.Example:Mei Xin’s father pushes her mother and kills her with a knife. She observes how her father kills her mother and learns from her dad. Observational comes in play when Mei Xin learn how to kill from her Father.

INTRINSIC MOTIVATIONDEFINITIONIntrinsic Motivation is taking a certain action for the sake of enjoyment that leads us to be more fully engaged with greater curiosity and pleasure.Example:Mei Xin finds motivation In killing people because she enjoy doing it. It is her pleasure and she finds happiness when she kills someone. She felt motivated when she successfully murder someone and happy when she doesn’t get caught by Inspector Xiu Qing.
