Evolutionary psychology explores the evolutionary bases of human social behaviors.
Psychological bias: There are some negative social impacts based on psychological bias on human society:
Cognitive Biases: Cognitive biases are systematic errors in reasoning due to subjective perception of reality, affecting how people understand and perceive the world.
Heuristics: These mental shortcuts provide an evolutionary benefit, enabling quick decision-making by detecting patterns and filtering unnecessary data.
Stereotyping: This involves assigning things to categories and using those categories to fill in missing information, which can lead to overgeneralization and implicit bias, especially concerning social characteristics like gender and race.
Confirmation Bias: The tendency to process new information in a way that reinforces existing beliefs and ignores contradictory evidence.
Anchoring: The tendency to focus on one’s initial impression and put less weight on later information.
Halo Effect: The tendency of a single positive trait to influence a person’s impression of a whole.
Hindsight Bias: The tendency to see events as being more predictable than they were.
Overgeneralization: Drawing broad conclusions based on little evidence.
Social behavior varies across different kinds of groups, such as families, friend groups, workgroups, and committees. Studies of social behavior explore interaction patterns, group norms, social roles, group problem-solving, and decision-making.
