1. Confirmation bias, which meansa person willonly pay attention
of the statement that he felt it, is true. Eventually, if we agree with
that idea and actually discardinginformation that wedon’tbelieve on
and even will not pay attention because in our mind weactually tell
you saysthat, the information given is wrongso automatically I will
not listen to it.
Last semester I justentered Taylor’sUniversity and duringthis
time I meet a lot of new people. I also meet a guy that alwaysbluff
and alwaysdo notspeak the truth just to showing off so other people
could actually feel he is so good at everythingso he can leave a good
impression to others. How I actually realizewhat he saying is saying
is false statement it all starting with that he said that his father own a
BMW X6 and he say the price is 1million Ringgit and as I remember
the price is not so high. In my mind I have been confirmed that any
statement that actually made by him I will notpay attention because
I am surethat what that peoplesayingis actually notthe truth.
On the other hand I have met another friend at my hometown
and he is actually oneof my best friends and I listen to what he said
about how his university life and I even pay attention and giving
advises to him on how to solve problem. I believe what he said
because firstly he is best friend of mineand I am pretty sure that he

2. will not talk anything which is notthe truth to lie me because it
doesn’tbring benefits to him and he is my best friend why he would
lie to me? So I will pay attention to a thing that it is true
All of a sudden actually I wasin the lecture class of social
psychology and I realize that I actually did apply confirmation bias. I
reject the information and actually ignorewhat the guy saying
because I had been confirmed that he is bluffingand actually I pay
attention to what my best friend said.
