Document Summary
Cognitive biases: cognitive biases are systematic patterns diverging from rationality, i. e. the brain not behaving the way it should, anchoring is when you compare what you are evaluating to something/ the anchor. An example of this is that some restaurants will put a very expensive iten on the menu to make other items look reasonable: contrast effect is when we evaluate things differently in contrast to toher things. For example, someone is vegan just because their boyfriend is: hostile media effect is when you watch the news, you tend to think they are hostile to your political views. This is because once you own something, you find it more valuable: temporal discounting is when we value things in the future less than things now. For example, bikers who wear helmets tend to be more risky and cars also tend to drive closer to them.
