Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tendency to abandon logical rules in favor of personal beliefs is called a belief bias. This is because people are often more likely to believe something that aligns with their pre-existing beliefs or biases, even if it goes against logic or evidence. Inductive reasoning refers to making specific observations and drawing general conclusions based on those observations, while deductive reasoning involves starting with a general theory and using it to predict specific outcomes. Discourse refers to communication or discussion. None of these options accurately describe the phenomenon described in the scenario.
