Yet how do they come to these decisions? To what extent are their decisions biaised? How are they affected by information distortion and to what extent does this biais their decision making? How widespread is it, particularly today? What are some key consequences? Can we fight it?In this morning coffee chat, Anne Sophie Chaxel will introduce the bias of information distortion, by which decision-makers change the interpretation of incoming information to fit their prior beliefs. This bias has been shown to occur unconsciously – making it very hard to fight off. It also has been shown to influence decision-makers in a wide array of domain such as medical decision-making, legal decision-making, consumer decision-making, and of course managerial decision-making. After reviewing how this bias change the interpretation of data, Anne Sophie Chaxel will explain how it contributes to creating echo chambers – and ultimately polarization in societyAbout Anne Sophie Chaxel : Anne-Sophie Chaxel is an Associate Professor of Marketing at HEC Paris.
