Exaggeration of conflict bias occurs when parties in a dispute tend to exaggerate the differences between themselves and the opposing party. This can make resolution more difficult as it increases animosity and makes finding common ground harder. False attribution bias is the tendency to blame external factors for our own failures and take credit for our successes. Hostile media bias refers to the tendency of individuals or groups to perceive media coverage as biased against their own position. Overconfidence bias occurs when individuals believe they are more knowledgeable or capable than they really are.
