The scenario described in the question is an example of the availability heuristic, which involves making judgements based on how easily specific instances or examples come to mind. In this case, the more easily someone can recall a time when they were betrayed by a friend, the more likely they are to believe that it is a common occurrence and expect it to happen again in the future.
