    BIAS is a tendency to look at things

    in a certain way, in preference to


    another way. It means a tendency to
    favor or support or against a
    particular one person, group, thing,
    or point of view over another
    resulting in unfairness.
    MOST COMMON TYPES OF BIAS
    ANCHORING BIAS

    This happens when people are too relied on


    current information or
    the initial information they find in decision-
    making.

    Example: From what I know, I chose you


    because I believedothers are not as good as
    you.
    MEDIA BIAS

    This happens when the journalists and


    news producers in the mass
    media select what to report and cover.

    Example: As a witness to the incident, I can


    attest that the reported news is far from
    what I see because the events
    are reversed and untrue.
    CONFIRMATION

    This happens when one tends to search for, interpret, favor


    and remember information supporting one's belief and
    views.

    Example: When he found out that the report did not agree
    with his views, he immediately researched facts to prove
    that he was right.
    CONFORMITY

    This happens when one makes a wrong or


    uncomfortable decision to fit in to please
    the group of people.

    Example: Although I did not agree with my


    will, I went with them to be happy. I was
    ashamed of my own helpless
    decision.
    HALO EFFECT

    This happens when one sees the


    wonderful thing about a person and let
    the perceptions on everything else about
    that person be distorted.

    Example: Among the applicants, only


    Leo's papers were completely reviewed
    because the manager was impressed
    with his awards and commendations.
    PREJUDICE refers to pre-judging before
    looking at the evidence. It is an
    unfavorable opinion or feeling beforehand
    or without knowledge, thought, or reason.
    Prejudice can have a strong influence on
    how people behave and interact with
    others, particularly with those who are
    different from another group
    MOST COMMON TYPES OF
    PREJUDICE
    RACISM

    This is the idea that groups of people


    exhibit different personality
    characteristics and can be separated
    based on the dominance of one
    race over another.

    Example: All Chinese in the country are


    considered virus carriers
    due to the COVID-19 disease.
    SEXISM

    This is a prejudice based on sex or


    gender.

    Example: Women are considered


    weak and lack the strength and
    ability to do the work of men
    CLASSISM

    This is a prejudice based on social class


    or grouping of individuals based on
    wealth, occupation, income, education,
    and social network.

    Example: The poor are uneducated and


    do not help our country; they should not
    be treated well by the government.
    AGEISM

    This is a prejudicial attitude towards


    older people, old age, and the aging
    process.

    Example: All adults should not be hired


    because they only become a burden,
    especially those who deserve to
    retire
    RELIGION

    This is the attitude towards a person


    or group differently because of the
    particular beliefs about religion.

    Example: He lost his job because of


    his religion, which was believed to
    conflict with his employer.
