Myside Bias, Rational Thinking, and Intelligence (2013, methodology): “Myside bias can be viewed as a subclass of confirmation bias (McKenzie, 2004) and is related to the construct of actively openminded thinking (Baron, 2008).”
The locus of the myside bias in written argumentation (2008, background): “Yet many student authors fail to address other sides of arguments, and thus exhibit what has been referred to as the myside bias (Baron, 1991, 1995; Perkins, 1985; Perkins, Bushey, & Farady, 1983; Perkins, Farady, & Bushey, 1991; Toplak & Stanovich, 2003).”
Scientific Literacy: The Role of Goal-Directed Reading and Evaluation in Understanding Scientific Information (2014, background): “…“my side” bias in that they tend to generate more reasons in favor of a position they support than they do reasons on an opposing side (Perkins, 1985; Toplak & Stanovich, 2003), they tend to ignore other-side information when composing argumentative essays (Kuhn & Udell, 2003; Nussbaum & Kardash,…”
On the distinction between rationality and intelligence: Implications for understanding individual differences in reasoning. (2012, unknown): “Myside bias, for example, is virtually independent of intelligence (Macpherson & Stanovich, 2007; Sá, Kelley, Ho, & Stanovich, 2005; Stanovich & West, 2007, 2008a, 2008b; Toplak & Stanovich, 2003).”
Someone is pulling the strings: hypersensitive agency detection and belief in conspiracy theories (2016, background): “There is also some evidence that time spent in education decreases susceptibility to the reasoning bias known as the ‘myside bias’ in which people evaluate, generate and test hypotheses in a way that is biased toward their own prior opinions and attitudes (Toplak & Stanovich, 2003).”
Culturally antagonistic memes and the Zika virus: an experimental test (2017, unknown): “…– highly suggestive, highly inflammatory argumentative tropes that fuse risks to contested understandings of the best way to live – knit the two together in a fashion that predictably generates a crazy-quilt patchwork of risk controversies (cf. Toplak and Stanovich 2003; Stanovich and West 2007).”
Feedback and the Success of Irrational Investors (2003, unknown): “…but not others is consistent with psychological evidence that suggests that groups of individuals with different personalities, decision styles, education and intelligence are prone to different kinds of or degrees of bias (see, e.g., Stanovich and West (2000), Toplak and Stanovich (2003)).”
Natural myside bias is independent of cognitive ability (2007, background): “That is, a person showing high belief bias in one domain is not necessarily likely to show it in another (Toplak & Stanovich, 2003).”
Distinguishing the reflective, algorithmic, and autonomous minds: Is it time for a tri-process theory? (2008, background): “…dispositions will predict variance in these tasks after the effects of general intelligence have been controlled (Bruine de Bruin et al., 2007; Klaczynski and Lavallee, 2005; Kokis et al., 2002; Parker and Fischhoff, 2005; Stanovich and West, 1997, 1998c, 2000; Toplak and Stanovich, 2002, 2003).”
Cognitive Ability, Thinking Dispositions, and Instructional Set as Predictors of Critical Thinking. (2007, background): “Strong myside bias effects have been demonstrated in numerous studies (Baron, 1991, 1995; Greenhoot, Semb, Colombo, & Schreiber, 2004; Kuhn, 1991; Nussbaum & Kardash, 2005; Perkins, 1985; Perkins, Farady, & Bushey, 1991; Stanovich & West, 2007; Toplak & Stanovich, 2003 ).”
Assessing miserly information processing: An expansion of the Cognitive Reflection Test (2014, background): “One issue pertained to raising the cost of the tuition (Toplak & Stanovich, 2003), and the second issue pertained to banning cars on campus.”
On the failure of cognitive ability to predict myside and one-sided thinking biases (2008, result): “…way to think of this is that the results suggest it might not be people who are characterised by more or less myside bias, but beliefs that differ in the degree of myside bias they engender—that differ in how strongly they are structured to repel contradictory ideas (Toplak & Stanovich, 2003).”
