Cognitive bias.
Confirmation bias is an unconscious cognitive bias.
It leads to filtering new information and evidence in such a way as to confirm a pre-existing opinion.
Seeing what we expect
- "We see what we expect to see.
- We begin with a notion of how a person is, and seek out information to confirm that view, ignoring information which contradicts that view."
