Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Confirmation bias is the tendency to selectively search for, interpret, and remember information that confirms our preexisting beliefs or values, while ignoring or discounting information that contradicts them. This bias may lead us to ask questions that only seek to confirm our beliefs and ignore anything that challenges them. The other options, availability heuristic, cherry-picking of evidence, and overconfidence, do not specifically refer to the act of asking biased questions.
