Information Bias

The origins of the term are unclear, but it has been used in psychology and other fields for decades to describe a variety of biases related to information processing. Examples of information biases include confirmation bias, where individuals seek out information that confirms their pre-existing beliefs, and hindsight bias, where individuals overestimate their ability to predict the outcome of an event after it has occurred. The concept of information bias has become an important area of study in fields such as decision-making, risk assessment, and public policy, and has led to the development of strategies to address or mitigate its effects.
