However, her friend who has a similar pair of jeans complains about the poor quality of the material, which prevents Gwyneth from making the online purchase. According to the biases and heuristics in decision making, it can be concluded that Gwyneth mirrors in this scenario.

According to the biases and heuristics in decision making, it can be concluded that Gwyneth mirrors base rate neglect in this scenario.

Explanation:

Base rate neglect is a type of fallacy. It takes place when we choose to ignore more general information upon receiving more specific information concerning a single event. Let's apply this to the scenario in the passage. Gwyneth receives general information about the jeans through the ratings on an online shopping website. Those are, as a matter of fact, exceptional ratings given by several different people. Still, Gwyneth chooses to ignore that information when her friend says the material of the jeans is poor. Even though this is the opinion of just one person, very specific and concerning a single event, Gwyneth gives up on buying those jeans. This is an example of base rate neglect.
