Kayla thinks a particular smart phone is the best one on the market. as she researches her phone purchase, she pays special attention to information that supports buying phone she likes, but ignores information that contradicts her beliefs. which obstacle to decision making is kayla experiencing?

Confirmation Bias

Explanation:

Confirmation bias is how one calls the tendency to interpret, favor, recall, and search for information in a way that it only confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses. Kayla is encountering a case of these propensities when she's evading data that would repudiate her convictions about the smartphone and gives uncommon consideration to the data that would bolster her decision. Also, it is important to add that the Selective Exposure theory expresses that individuals may have a propensity to favor data that strengthen their convictions while giving little consideration to data that would negate them.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
