Learning how to critically think was the best and worst thing to happen to me. Yes, it made me smarter, but it made me realize how stupid the world really is.

The 5th bias is so confirmed with me! For example, each time I finish a show, a movie or an anime, I'll be looking for a confirmation of my opinion about those. If I dislike a work, unconscously I wanna be reassured in my choice.

0:18 Anchoring Bias (1st information disproportionately influence later jugements. Related to contrast effect) 1:22 Availability Bias (Focusing on what you know / what is shown. Lack of perspective) 2:22 Bandwagon Effect (Aka group thinking. Doing like the others, social pressure) 3:09 Choice Supportive Bias (A choice unknowingly becomes cue of superiority and feed filtering effects. Fanboys, religion, partisanism) 3:50 Confirmation Bias (Only searching for proofs aligned with point of view. Misinterpret contradictory evidences to support current world view) 4:30 Ostrich Bias (Ignore or rationalize negative information) 5:20 Outcome Bias (Base the effectiveness of a decision on its outcome, neglecting other factors. Basis for superstition. See fooled by randomness or the drunkard's walk.) 6:12 Overconfidence (Stop making decision based on facts after a series of successes) 6:52 Placebo Effect (The belief of an outcome improves its likeness. I'm not sure why it's classified as a bias) 7:44 Survivorship Bias (Only taking into account the positive outcomes, which gives irrelevant correlations) 8:32 Selective Perception (Ostrich + Confirmation combined?) 9:08 Blindspot Bias (Thinking that we are less biased than the next folk)

Actual as never. But take into account the 13 type: "bias bias bias" - when you think you can avoid bias by knowing that you are also experiencing some bias.

Criticizing and being honest with oneself is key of resisting our biases. Also knowing them and understanding them very well to spot them whenever we fall into one of them. Having friends who always tell you that you're biased when you're biased, smart trust worthy ones, also helps. Our biases are a cancer that we cannot fight alone.

I have worked with a lot of medical scientists and to my surprise, most of them have at least one of these biases. These biases, in addition to publication bias, greatly impact what we believe as Science and this is alarming. It is time for the scientists to be educated on these biases and they should be empowered to find the truth instead of the pressure to publish paper.

#10 is something I always tell people when they say “there’s so much rubbish music around these days.” It was always so, it’s just that time has filtered out the poor music and what’s left after this sifting is the “better” or longer lasting / more familiar tunes.

Ignore Ostrich Bias and it will go away :)

I will not let my positive bias for this channel trick me into learning something about my biases

Here's a list of recommended books for detailed understanding of the biases: 1. Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman 2. Cognitive Illusions - A Handbook on Fallacies and Biases in Thinking, Judgement and Memory Edited by Rüdiger F. Pohl 3. The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli

This should be a part of an elementary school teaching!

love learning this stuff! :-)

Love the video and good job on the research Ismonofftv! Keep up the good work guys!

WOW -- AMAZING -- INTELLIGENT. I, for one, am fascinated with psychology, decision making, critical thinking, and now biases. Your video is one of the best that I've seen in quite some time. Your narration is spot on, and your examples/definitions of each bias are precise. I like the whimsical approach to covering what some would think is a boring topic. GREAT WORK, and thank you for sharing your time and wisdom.

I like how fast you talk and how you get right to the point. I'm someone with little patience for "fluff" content, so I appreciate getting just the facts.

Great stuff. The selective perception bias was most interesting. I can immediately see the implications in business context and how you present information. Thanks

Hey man! Your channel is full of knowledge and useful psicological tips which everyone can improve, train, and be happier, as I am now! Thanks for those, they're awesome!

I'm a mostly self taught artist. "you don't know what you don't know" is my creed. That's why I welcome constructive criticism. Interesting to see another person use it.

Switched on dude! Good job, this is great content here. You think super smart! 🌟

"It's hard to know,what you don't know." This guy just made my day saying this❤️

Choice supportive bias is actually a great thing when you get married.

Thank you for putting the list in the description as well! it makes sense but few channels actually do it. cheers!

I love the effective use of limited colors on the graphics. Brilliant summary of an import set of information indeed!

Dayum. This is material I'm going to put into my kids curriculum. Excellent content

Now, you're a pretty smart guy and you can take some constructive criticism, so I hope you understand I mean this in a good way. It's just two points: 1. These explanations were really good, and the title describes exactly what the video is about, but I miss the practical side. Usually I wouldn't be an ass about this, but since this channel is called Practical Psychology I did miss some ways to recognise and/or fight the biases. 2. I think at the placebo / nocebo part you could have gone further, into self-fulfilling prophecies. I've experienced some pretty bad effects of these in my own life and I think it would be nice to have some more information and tips on them. But maybe that's too far off topic. Other than that I think the video is pretty good.

Found this channel through this vid. Scrolling through, pretty stoked to watch like half your videos!

I like how you talk quickly and get to the point without a lot of blah blah blah. Good video!

The part about confirmation bias confirms my opinions about confirmation bias as so I totally agree with it :)

Outcome bias is very prevalent in minor league hockey, which was something I figured out before I even knew what cognitive biases were. Someone would do something wrong and end up scoring, but rather than being criticized by the coach, their actions were perceived as good because they scored from it.

You chose a lot of really great examples, and not ones most people know. Great job.

Terrific. This stuff is so interesting. I feel like a person with a solid grasp of these things would have a significant edge. Or, would go mad from having to deal with people who have no grasp of them.

What if you have a combination of plcaebo and ostrich bias?I think is the worst combination because it can trap you in a loop of believing that you will achieve something but not doing anything to achieve it.Simply a lazy dreamer.

"If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?" This is a common question, used to challenge a decision based on the bandwagon effect. It challenges someone to consider whether something is really a good idea, even if everyone else does it (in this case, friends). The sentence is, upon closer analysis, a straw man attack that over-extrapolates the bandwagon effect.

i love this video, thanks for summarizing the items with easy to follow animation!

Man, that was a lot of information in a very short amount of time. I love Psychology, but this is really gonna take some time to fully understand it.

The real bias, is the bias against 'biases'. In real time, these biases/heuristics lead directly and indirectly into new insights. For example, with confirmation bias, it helps serve as empirical evidence towards what we believe . For example, with confirmation bias if "we tend to confirm information we believe" through multiple lines of information, in a certain situation, then there is probably something factual about what we believe, and we know its safe to spend more time on rigorously justifying/proving it. Where as linear thinkers tend to miss on the opportunity. That is a tenant of EMPIRICISM - NOT A BIAS. There is a difference between using a bias to make a quick and impulsive decision in a trivial situation, for which there is little at stake, and using a sense of our biases (in harmony with rationality) towards solving critical problems. In effect, these anti-bias proponents are merely talented straw-man engineers; mostly achievement < IQ types and graying anglophiles who indulge in a deluded sense of intellectual worth.

A few of these sound very similar to each other. Several of these cognitive failures result in ignoring and disputing evidence that contradicts your views. Choice Supportive Bias, Anchoring Bias, Confirmation Bias, Ostrich Bias all seem geared toward defending the opinion you have.

Thank you so much for sharing. Clear and very informative. Keep up the great work.

Great Video!!! Great information and great examples!!! This helped me in my College Critical Thinking for Business class!! Thanks!

Thank you for teaching us critical thinking in much-needed times.

I like your style: clear, direct, and unpretentious.

I am saving this and will review this video every few months to keep in mind how my mind can be misled.

I just realised i came here to confirm what i already know🤦‍♂️

"Selective Perception ... I like this one"

Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!

These are all critical flaws in human processing, yet they are deeply ingrained in everyone. Helps explain the friction we see today. Two people, each w a mountain of biases, going round and round.

The bandwagon effect is interesting. It can actually be quite logical to accept the opinion of the group. First of all you may trust the opinion of the group more than your own. Second you may not care to put in the effort to arrive at your own conclusion but it may be troublesome for whatever reason to simply not have an opinion on the matter. Third we are social creatures and it rarely pays to be the sole naysayer in a group, being accepted may be more important than being right.

4. I actually force myself to have a choice supportive bias to make myself not regret anything in the future. Choosing your laptop, smartphone, piano or even your college requires a lot of planning and research (at least for me). So once I've made choice, I'm like screw it I've made the best choice.

Great video. I have to book recommendations for you to consider having a video on. First, Tony Robbins awaken the giant within. Second, the motivation manifesto by Brandon Burchard.

Thanks for the video. The selective bias is fascinating!

Hey, great channel. Any chance you'll do a piece on logical fallacies?

Hey can you make a video about the bystander effect? I feel like people should know about it.

Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it and helped me understand the different bias behaviors.

It helped my exam so much. But its not the only reason i love it, it gave me new perspective of life. Thanl u

Bias isn't a bad thing, it's a trait of logic that will never go away, and will never not be used in any decision. The only thing about biases is to not let them control your thinking completely, and recognize to which degree a bias is forming your opinion.

loved this one ;)

just found out about this, now I'm contemplating life decisions!!!!

I like that you promoted another channel even though it's a competitor to yours. Also the video was informational and I very much enjoyed it. Have an up and subscribe

Good video. Well presented. Not to complicated for beginners but still very informative. Maybe a little too fast in delivery, but that's something you can do something about very easily. Ever thought about doing a series on these things, following on from this video? Take each one in turn and do a video, looking in more depth at each bias and then examining ways in which they've hindered a situation and looking at ways in which that hindrance can be avoided ... that sort of thing? Just an idea... Enjoy!

Your voice is so nice to hear to. And your vids do really help me!

I really appreciate this video. Good work.

i love how u put them in alphabetical order, so that was easier for me to transfer stuff u said to my Word doc where i list so amny of these things

Got to watch out for those cows

I realized that I have a confirmation bias when I do an academic research. I do not want to learn something new.

Many of those bleed into each other; also several of the examples could fit more than one category. Suffice it to say that 1. First impressions count for a lot. 2. Fear and hope are powerful influences. 3. We shape our own realities.

Great video.! Many people I know need this little glossary...badly.

I m stunned to know that there is also a Bias for bias😂😍

"Not the pooping part!" ...no, my friend, it is totally the pooping part!

Very well-explained, thank you!

This video was so interesting! Great job!

After Sandeep maheshwari parenting video😂😂😂

Sandeep Maheshwari recommends this video

Great video. I absolutely love it. Thanks!

It's important to recognize biases and do our best to make decisions based on empirical data. But just because our thoughts and decisions are biased doesn't mean that our process for making it is necessarily poor. For example, outcome bias is one of the best decision-making methods available, because the interaction of variables within complex or chaotic systems makes it impractical or impossible to make good, data-based decisions when there are enough unknown variables. It is much more beneficial to cultivate a sort of "chaos intuition" so that we can consciously or unconsciously recognize the patterns that have led to desired outcomes, and do our best to replicate those conditions. Confirmation bias and selective perception can be similarly beneficial, as long as we're willing to fit our beliefs and perceptions to our experience of objective reality, however imperfect or subjective that experience is. Obviously, the more objectively informed our opinions and decisions are, the more reliable they will be. But we should recognize that gaps in knowledge or the impracticality of data collection may make it necessary to rely on imperfect, subjective cognitive processes. This really isn't a huge barrier if we're intentional about cultivating these processes to our advantage.

Hello there. Please slow down it's too fast for us to understand and to really capture what such things really means. HAPPY NEW YEAR BTW

Thank you.. This was a great description

Great vid! Subscribed, liked, and saved for reference.

First comment bias

hey practical Psychology, im reading a book about reading bodylanguage from joe navallo can you make a video about the feet/leg bodylanguage please c: btw great video ;)

Awesome video I plan to use what I learned from psychology to help me become a great decision maker and investor

This should be seen by every person on earth. Cognitive biases are the reason for a lot of the problems we have today.

My professor is forcing me to watch this vid :(

I think it's amazing how his thick black Sharpie can write in multiple colours, produce nuanced shadings, and make lines of multiple widths.

Nicely explained . Thank you for sharing.

Great direct to the point reference video. Thanks for the effort

After sandeep maheswari video 👍

Dude,, slow down, it seems like you just did 10 lines of Peruvian flake and shot a video,, slow it down,, great video, loved it, just do it slower,, please

Excellent presentation explaining the Cognitive Biases! I am sharing it now on Facebook.

As someone who struggles with escapism, I particularly fall too deep when encountering the Ostrich bias. Hate it so much since it also goes along with "feelings" (or what my brain wants to feel/expect) despite outcomes not meeting what l envisioned.

4 things the richest 1% of the world do almost every day: - Breathe - Eat - Sleep - Think

I guess I have a bias against having to put a name to every thought in my head.

Thanks for the biases lesson. I learned a lot.

Well done and increasingly important in our time.

Anyone after Sandeep Maheshwari video?

How is the placebo/nocebo effect a bias?

Wished I would have known that 15 years ago. Some stuff I knew before but especially survivorship bais principle enlightened me

Great! Thanks for getting to the point instead of droning on and on.

Just an observation, but the list of 'labelled biases" are in themselves biased. Context, who or what asserts these are "the" biases all people are subject to, and will have the same reaction to? Again, this video assumes "authority" in it's premise from the beginning, like many others do.One can present research studies, "peer reviewed" articles, or any other data one cares to, it means nothing, if all of it is wrong. And, as long as there are "unknowns" within human existence, or "unanswered" questions...there is no right or wrong answers, other than,"we don't know". When dealing with the human mind, not brain function, no 2 people think the same, so attempting to describe "bias" is a moot point.
