Your motivations drive you to choose to take action, but they can also drive you to take shortcuts that lead to less satisfying results. When you understand what your motivations are, you can recognize the cognitive biases you might employ because of that motivation. Recognizing those biases will help you analyze options more completely to make more satisfying decisions in the future.

How others perceive you may not match how you see yourself because your own cognitive biases can alter your self-perception. The way others see you will affect how they behave toward you and how you think and feel about yourself, which will, in turn, affect your behavior and therefore how others perceive you. This course will teach you to eliminate those biases that skew your self-perception.

Making assumptions is a completely natural behavior, but it can lead to beliefs and even actions that we would not have come to if we had all the information, and that practice can cause much undue anxiety and stress. Use critical thinking skills to acknowledge and resist assumptions to quiet your biases and save yourself some energy and anxiety.

Mental shortcuts go by many different names. They happen when you react or make a decision without considering all the information you have available. Instead, you might consider only the most recently-received information. What happens when you react without enough information is that your biases have much more influence over your decisions. Learn to identify and avoid mental shortcuts to lessen the influence of your biases.

Today’s society is rampant with stereotypes. Stereotypes are based on the idea that individuals within a group must hold similar characteristics. Virtually everyone has them, but most people are ashamed to admit it, which makes them difficult to explore and resolve. Stereotypes can create biases depending on how your stereotypes fit in with the people and information around you.

Biases show up in our actions and words, which can be an issue when you’re trying to solve a problem or pitch an idea. Biases prevent us from thoroughly examining the idea before reacting. Then we develop support around the reaction instead of choosing our reaction based on what idea or solution has the most support. By rephrasing or hearing the idea or problem from other perspectives, you can help minimize thought errors and get to the best possible result.

Optimism is yet another bias, which means it can unintended consequences, but it’s also important to note that optimism has a significant advantage as well. As with most things, it’s important to apply optimism in moderation and know when it’s appropriate.
