Understanding Negativity Bias

Negativity bias is the tendency for individuals to focus more on negative experiences or information than positive ones. This predisposition has deep roots in human evolution, as it helps us respond to potential threats more effectively. Neuroscientific studies reveal that our brains allocate greater emotional weight to negative stimuli, evident in areas such as the pregenual anterior cingulate cortex, which shows heightened activity in response to negative events. Recognizing this bias is crucial as it can influence various aspects of our lives, from our personal relationships to our professional development.
