Critical evaluation

Behavioural skills - avoiding cognitive bias - group confirmation bias - academic approaches.

Critical evaluation is an objective, evidence-based approach to review and analysis.

It implies an understanding that there may be alternative points of view, the ability and willingness to articulate alternative perspectives, and the ability both to weigh evidence and to give reasons for conclusions.

Critical evaluation can be an antidote to groupthink and other forms of cognitive bias.
