GEN 103 Week 2 Discussion 2 Reflective Thinking Confirmation

Reflective Thinking: Confirmation Bias [WLO: 4] [CLO: 3]

Reflect: 

As human beings we all have biases that affect our perceptions and ideas. According to von Winckelmann and Garcia (2021), “a bias is a tendency to view something in a particular way” (p. 52). Take some time and reflect on your own biases. Do you have a favorite restaurant, sports team, author, or information source? How does that affect your perception of them and the conclusions you draw? In this discussion you will reflect on confirmation bias and explore its impact on the research process.

 
Write icon

Write: 

  • Demonstrated confirmation bias. Describe a situation in which you or someone you know has demonstrated confirmation bias.
  • Your own biases. Share how your own biases might have impacted the sources you chose for your topic.
  • Steps to minimize bias. Discuss two steps based on the assigned reading and video that could minimize the effect of bias in the situation you described.
  • Explain why confirmation bias matters. Explain why it is important for scholars to be aware of confirmation bias during the research process. Include how this awareness is important to you as you seek information for your own research.

Your initial post should be a minimum of 150 words and is due on Day 3 (Thursday).

Guided Response: 

Review your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by Day 7. Each peer response should be a minimum of 50 words. In your peer responses,

  • Provide an alternative step to minimize bias in the situation that your peer shared.
  • Address their thoughts about why it is important to be aware of confirmation bias during the research process.

This is an opportunity to exchange ideas with your peers and expand your own knowledge. If you notice a classmate facing a challenge, use your responses to support them. Helping your classmates will not only benefit them but it will also help to solidify your own knowledge.
