Stereotyping is the act of making assumptions about an individual based on the characteristics or traits of the group to which they belong. This can lead to biased judgments and unfair treatment of individuals. Confirmation bias is when we seek out information that confirms our pre-existing beliefs, framing effect is when the way information is presented influences our decision-making, distinction bias is when we see differences between similar things as being more significant than they actually are, and bandwagon effect is the tendency to conform to the opinions or actions of a group.
