cognitive bias make criticism?
Last two weeks,I read article about cognitive bias.If you want to know more you can follow it on the link below: http://io9.com/5974468/the-most-common-cognitive-biases-that-prevent-you-from-being-rational.
There are three bias in particular: Projection bias, The current moment bias and Anchoring effect. I read all of three bias with my friends in the group, when I read the current moment bias an anchoring effect not quite interesting. Therefore, I decide to research and follow on projection bias, because I want share my idea to other people that they interest on it.
The article explain projection bias is we tend to assume that most people think just like us-though there maybe no justification for it. This cognitive shortcoming often leads for related effect known as the false consensus bias where we tend to believe that people not only think like us, but that they also agree with us. It's a bias where we overestimate how typical and assume that a consensus exists on matter when there maybe none.
From my personal experience, I notice my own projection bias, when I've purchased apple product. My father seem always disagree with it. I've force my father to using apple product, but he still disagree with it. Now that I've learn about projection bias, I think I didn't notice them before.
Conclusion, cognitive bias are good to learn,many people won't know this if they don't learn about this, These bias will always happen in every day in your life.
