How Scientists Fool Themselves: 5 Psychological Biases & Their Countermoves

The 5 most dangerous psychological biases in science (confirmation bias, optimism bias, sunk-cost fallacy, self-serving bias, and groupthink) and how to spot them before they corrupt results. Most scientists believe psychological bias is something that happens to other people. In reality, it’s the invisible force shaping every hypothesis, experiment, and “significant result.” It doesn’t just distort conclusions. It quietly selects which conclusions you are even able to see. You’ll learn: → How optimism bias pushes researchers to overestimate evidence and underestimate risk → How confirmation bias rigs interpretation (without you noticing) → Why self-serving bias rewrites your story after the results are in → How sunk-cost fallacy keeps bad ideas alive long after the data says “stop” → Why groupthink can make smart teams converge on wrong answers This is for scientists, PhD students, and evidence-driven professionals who want cleaner reasoning, better experiments, and fewer self-inflicted research disasters. 👉 Subscribe for more:    / @cesarsotovalero   ⏰ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:28 Optimism Bias 03:57 Confirmation Bias 08:26 Self-Serving Bias 11:10 Sunk-Cost Fallacy 15:01 Groupthink Bias 19:02 Final Reflection 📺 RESOURCES → Related video (1):    • Cargo Cult in Computer Science: An Uncomfo...   #Psychology #Science #CognitiveBias #ConfirmationBias #Research #CriticalThinking #PhDLife #DecisionMaking
