What is the belief-bias effect?
What will be an ideal response?
The belief-bias effect occurs when we agree more with syllogisms that affirm our beliefs, whether or not these syllogisms are logically valid. An example of the workings of the associative system may be in the false consensus effect. In this system, people believe that their own behavior and judgments are more common and more appropriate than those of other people. Suppose people have an opinion on an issue. They are likely to believe that because it is their opinion, it is likely to be shared and believed to be correct by others. Associating other views with our views simply because they match our own is a questionable practice, however.
