We're guilty of behavior that's in the realm of confirmation bias quite a bit, yet the meaning of the term is frequently not understood properly. Confirmation bias in decision making (financial decisions or otherwise) is one of those things that people will quickly tell you is wrong, yet the same people will make that mistake anyway, possibly even right after your conversation in which they tell you it's wrong :) By understanding the definition of the term "confirmation bias" through an easy to follow explanation and relevant examples, you'll realize why it's one of the most widely known about yet least internalized concepts of decision-making. Simply put, having a firm grasp of what confirmation bias is all about is paramount if you're serious about making better financial decisions or let's say decisions in general. No, memorizing the definition of the term is nowhere near enough. The name of the game is internalizing it, seeing the deeply-rooted relationship between confirmation bias and... well, human nature.
