It’s All Your Fault: High Conflict People

Confirmation Bias in High Conflict Situations: How to Avoid Being Fooled by High Conflict People


Listen Later

Have you ever been fooled by someone? Or become passionate about a cause, belief, or opinion that later was proven to be false – and you discovered that the information was there all the time but you hadn’t considered anything outside one point of view? That may have been because of confirmation bias.


In today’s episode, Bill and Megan discuss:

  • what confirmation bias is and how it can fool us
  • confirmation bias in today’s society, such as social media, politics, and others
  • how it is used in high conflict court cases
  • how to avoid getting fooled by confirmation bias with allegations of abuse
  • how to avoid getting fooled by a high conflict person
