n this episode of Naked Psychology, Doug and Kendall explore how confirmation bias and identity protection shape the way we think, especially in today’s world of social media and instant opinions. They discuss how our brains naturally look for information that supports what we already believe while ignoring evidence that challenges it. The conversation dives into how algorithms create echo chambers, how these biases affect relationships and everyday conflicts, and why people often double down on beliefs even when presented with new facts. By blending psychological research with real-life examples, Doug and Kendall encourage listeners to recognize their own thinking patterns and develop the curiosity and humility needed for stronger critical thinking in a polarized world.
