Confirmation bias is a cognitive bias whereby one tends to notice and look for information that confirms one's existing beliefs, whilst ignoring anything that contradicts those beliefs. It is a type of selective thinking.
‘Confirmation bias is the technical name for people's desire to find information that agrees with their existing view.’
Montier (2002)
