Cognitive biases are limitations in our thinking that can lead to irrational decisions and judgments. They are caused by our brain’s tendency to use mental shortcuts to make sense of the world around us. At QMAK, our “Question More, Action Knowledge” philosophy emphasizes the importance of nurturing a mindset of active questioning and discovery.
Cognitive biases can have a significant impact on our lives. They can lead to us making poor financial decisions, choosing unhealthy relationships, and even putting ourselves in danger. However, by being aware of these biases, we can take steps to reduce their impact on our thinking and make more rational decisions.
Here are some common cognitive biases:
Confirmation Bias
When we seek out and interpret information that confirms our existing beliefs.
Framing Effect
When our decisions are influenced by the way information is presented.
Anchoring Bias
When we use an initial piece of information as a reference point for subsequent judgments.
Availability Bias
When we overestimate the likelihood of events that are easy to remember.
Illusion of Control
When we believe we have more control over events than we actually do.
Loss Aversion
When we feel the pain of a loss more strongly than the pleasure of a gain.
Inattentional Blindness
When we fail to notice things that are right in front of us because we are not paying attention.
Optimism Bias
When we believe we are less likely to experience negative events than others.
