Psychologists Liz Hall (Ph.D.) and Erin Smith (Ph.D.) are back on the podcast to speak with Tim about myside bias, a prevalent phenomenon that also goes by the name of confirmation bias. While myside bias has been around for awhile, cultural conditions seem to to be exacerbating this type of bias. What cost does myside bias exact on our critical thinking, disagreements, and relationships with others? Tim, Liz, and Erin explore these issues and questions and unpack key terms related to myside bias, including affective polarization, and in-groups. The discussion also highlights the importance of being courageous, establishing “equal ground,” and ways to identify blind spots with our own biases.
