Brachney again, Omni. I'll try incorporating Belief Perseverance in Confirmation Bias--thanks. If it works, I'll let you know. I edited Confirmation Bias a long time ago, and this was well-received. So I'll approach that writer with your suggestion. If that fails, I'll request help in how to impart an encyclopedic format. Thanks again. Brachney Brachney (talk) 23:19, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to get into how it differs from Disconfirmation Bias. Jeffery Thomas 02:36, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Quotations section

I don't believe that the article should have a quotations section; this is not encyclopedia, and in keeping with the policies at WP:QUOTEFARM, which says "Do not insert any number of quotations in a stand-alone quote section.", I have removed the section - please could you explain why you feel this article should be exempt from policy?

Potential edits

How could the article be revised to eliminate excessive quotations? Additionally, the reference to the study mentioned in The Atlantic may be inappropriate as this is a potentially-biased news and journalism source, as well as misplaced as an example in the article's Lead.

I think that this article is a good start for explaining belief perseverance but I think that it's missing information on how it's relevant to society and us as humans and what some of the implications of it are. I also believe that there are more recent/current information and studies and experiments and things that have been done that could be included.Makaylahatt11 (talk) 22:03, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to Backfire_effect needs to be edited to reflect that said effect is now controversial due to lack of replication in a major a competing study. lunaverse (talk) 18:57, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is a large section in the initial header section on Backfire Effects which is almost verbatim repeated further down in the article (... "corrections and fact-checking are very unlikely to have a negative impact" ...). The article can probably be improved to remove one of these two references. I think it's better to keep the section on Backfire effects and have a shorter summary if desired in the initial header section. gr33kdude (talk) 07:17, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
