Provide examples of (1) an evidence-biased obstacle and (2) a truth-biased obstacle
Provide examples of (1) an evidence-biased obstacle and (2) a truth-biased obstacle that you’ve recently encountered in your everyday life. So, you only need to come up with a total of two examples, by choosing onesubtype from each category (subtypes are listed below). Be sure to identify which two subtypes you’re using in your examples.
The examples should be drawn from your own experience – either a claim you made that expresses an obstacles or one that you observed someone else making. Important: make sure that you formulate your examples as claims, NOT as behaviors or actions. (CT deals with the motivations behind claims, psychology deals with the motivations behind behaviors or actions.)
