Myside bias occurs when people evaluate evidence, generate evidence, and test hypotheses in a manner biased toward their own prior opinions and attitudes. Research across a wide variety of myside bias paradigms has revealed a somewhat surprising finding regarding individual differences. The magnitude of the myside bias shows very little relation to intelligence. Avoiding myside bias is thus one rational thinking skill that is not assessed by intelligence tests or even indirectly indexed through…

Does “putting on your thinking cap” reduce myside bias in evaluation of scientific evidence?
Abstract The desire to maintain current beliefs can lead individuals to evaluate contrary evidence more critically than consistent evidence. We test whether priming individuals’ scientific reasoning…
Myside bias, school performance, and the polarity of music preferences
ABSTRACT The study examined myside bias among Bulgarian students using a research paradigm devised by Stanovich and West (2007. Natural myside bias is independent of cognitive ability. Thinking &…
Bias in bias recognition: People view others but not themselves as biased by preexisting beliefs and social stigmas
TLDR
People exhibit bias in bias recognition, and this metacognitive bias may be remedied when it is highlighted to people that the authors are all susceptible to biasing influences.
The need for intellectual diversity in psychological science: Our own studies of actively open-minded thinking as a case study
TLDR
A re-analysis of a large dataset shows the importance of intellectual diversity in psychology, especially when studying such topics as religiosity and political attitudes, and shows that it is possible to construct BR items with parallel content that are not so demographically biased.
Reasoning ability predicts irrational worldview but not conspiracy belief
TLDR
Using confirmatory factor analysis, this work found the robust link between conspiracy belief and other irrational beliefs and suggests that effective reasoning cannot prevent even highly intelligent people from endorsing conspiracy theories.
Reasons and the “ Motivated Numeracy Effect ”
Does the ability to reason well make one less likely to engage in motivated reasoning? Following a paradigm used by Kahan, Peters, Dawson, and Slovic (2013), this study aims to replicate, extend, and…

Commentary: Cognitive reflection vs. calculation in decision making
TLDR
Recent empirical evidence is discussed that supports the claim that the CRT is more than just a measure of numeracy or, more generally, cognitive ability.
What Is the Function of Confirmation Bias?
Confirmation bias is one of the most widely discussed epistemically problematic cognitions, challenging reliable belief formation and the correction of inaccurate views. Given its problematic nature,…
Ideological Bias in Social Psychological Research
“Getting it right” is the sine qua non of science (Funder et al., 2013 ). Science can tolerate individual mistakes and fl awed theories, but only if it has reliable mechanisms for correction.…

Two critical thinking skills—the tendency to avoid myside bias and to avoid one-sided thinking—were examined in three different experiments involving over 1200 participants and across two different…

TLDR
The authors present a framework for predicting when cognitive ability will and will not correlate with a rational thinking tendency, including some of the most classic and well-studied biases in the heuristics and biases literature.

TLDR
The findings support a 2-process view of adult cognitive development and suggest that the tendency to rely on heuristic information processing increases with age.
