Cognitive Bias Detective

Description

This resource provides an introduction to cognitive biases, exploring five key types: Anchoring Effect, Confirmation Bias, Framing Effect, Halo Effect, and Negativity Bias. Each bias is defined and illustrated with real-world examples, helping students understand how these mental shortcuts can lead to irrational decisions in various scenarios, including social media interactions, consumer behavior, and investment choices. Activities are included for students to identify these biases in different contexts, reflect on their own experiences, and consider strategies for mitigating their effects. The aim is to enhance their decision-making skills by recognizing and addressing cognitive biases.
