Question

Question 7 of 10 Jenny's grandfather thinks all female drivers are bad.He drives around all day,and once he sees a female driver go through a red light."Ha!" he thinks to himself, "there's another bad driver!" This is an example of: A. social cognition. B. self-efficacy. C. confirmation bias. D. the fundamental attribution error.

Answer 1

This is an example of:C. confirmation bias.Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses. In this case, Jenny's grandfather already believes that all female drivers are bad, and he selectively notices and remembers instances that support this belief, such as seeing a female driver go through a red light.
