Biases After a Breakup
After a breakup, individuals often experience biases that distort their memories of the relationship. The fading effect bias leads to a minimization of negative memories, making it easier to forget the unpleasant experiences and conflicts. Meanwhile, the positivity bias serves to amplify the positive moments, highlighting them as vivid highlights in an otherwise dull recollection of the relationship. Consequently, the negative aspects fade into the background while the positive experiences are exaggerated, fostering an idealized image of the ex-partner.
