Read the following passage and list the biases:
Spencer has been in a bad mood all day. When he came in, he cried as his mother took off his coat, and he was crabby when she left. He started in the block corner, where he didn’t like the way the kids were building, and kicked over Emily’s tower. When I took him aside, he tried to bite me on the hand—I guess he doesn’t want to be corrected because he’s in a bad mood and is crabby.
What will be an ideal response?
