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.
Anchoring Bias
This happens when people are too relied on current
information or the initial information they find in
decision-making
Ex.
From what I know, I chose you because I believe others
are not good as you.
Media Bias
This happens when the journalists and news
producers in the mass media select what to
report and cover.
Ex. As a witness of 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.

Ex. When he found out that the report did not agree with
his views, he immediately research facts to prove that he
was right.
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.

Ex. Among the applicants, only Leo’s papers were completely reviewed
because the manager was impressed with his awards and commendations.
