Which of the cognitive biases discussed in this section do you think you might be most subject to?

What might you do to compensate for this bias factor?

• Some cognitive biases involve heuristics, general rules we unconsciously follow in estimating probabilities. An example is the availability heuristic, which involves unconsciously assigning a probability to a type of event on the basis of how often one thinks of events of that type. After watching multiple news reports of an earthquake or an airplane crash or a case of child abuse, thoughts of earthquakes and airplane crashes and child abuse will be in the front of one’s mind. Accordingly, one may overestimate their probability. True, if the probability of airplane crashes were to increase, then one might well think about airplane crashes more often; but it does not follow that if one thinks about them more often, their probability has increased.

Based on the section in my course material reading for this week, I believe that the cognitive bias that I am most subject to would be the negativity bias. During an argument, I find myself weighing in on the negative aspects as opposed to viewing both sides of the issue being argued. I believe that I do this because it is my intention to prepare for the negative outcome and hope for the positive. I know that from the outside looking in this bias can seem like a pessimistic outlook on life. However, I feel that this bias helps me to better prepare myself for life’s down curves. I am not a pessimistic person by nature. To be honest, I have been told by my wife that I am the positive one in the room with the patience of a saint. Preparing for the negative aspects of any situation provides me with a feeling of being proactive as opposed to be reactive. Being proactive helps one to prepare themselves and their family for the bad times that the world may bring. When the effects aren’t as bad as expected, it makes the positive aspect of life that much sweeter. I appreciate the little things in life because I am always preparing for the worst.
