- Confirmation bias
o What confirms your beliefs = foolish
o What confirms your beliefs AND what the facts say = overvalued
o What the facts say = undervalued
- Availability heuristics
= Assess the frequency of a class or the probability of an event by the ease with which
instances or occurrences can be brought to mind
o Biased by info that is
Easier to recall
Vivid, well-publicized or recent
More salient (our attention is drawn to it)
Available
example: 9/11 => 3000 people died => out of fear people started travelling
by car instead of planes BUT 3000 people per month die in car crashes
o What is covered by the news is only a small part of what actually happens in the
world
- Likeability heuristics
= we respond better to people we like
o Likeability
people we are similar to, people we recognize, people who pay us compliments,
attractive people (‘halo-effect’)
- Endowment effect:
o We overvalue goods that we own, regardless of their objective market value
o People find it hard to part with something (product, service) they already own/use
- Sunk cost fallacy
o Not wanting to get rid of things that were expensive even though you do not need
them anymore or could even be a burden to you
