Decision-making biases and errors

 Framing Bias

Selecting and highlighting certain aspects of a situation while ignoring other aspects.

 Availability Bias

Losing decision-making objectivity by focusing on the most recent events.

 Representation Bias

Drawing analogies and seeing identical situations when none exist.

 Randomness Bias

Creating unfounded meaning out of random events. Docsity.com

 Sunk Costs Errors

Forgetting that current actions cannot influence past events and relate only to future consequences.

 Self-Serving Bias

Taking quick credit for successes and blaming outside factors for failures.

 Hindsight Bias

Mistakenly believing that an event could have been predicted once the actual outcome is known (after-the- fact).
