Backfire Effect

A parent who believes vaccines cause autism encounters a comprehensive scientific study disproving this link. Instead of reconsidering their position, they become more convinced of their original belief, arguing that the study must be compromised by pharmaceutical companies. They subsequently join anti-vaccine groups and share more misinformation online, demonstrating how contradictory evidence strengthened rather than weakened their incorrect belief.

Just 5-10 minutes of flashcard practice daily can dramatically improve your ability to spot biases in real-world situations and make more objective decisions.
