nativethinking
Nativethinking is a term that describes a cognitive bias where individuals tend to favor ideas and beliefs that align with their upbringing, cultural background, or perceived innate predispositions. It suggests that people are more likely to accept information or adopt viewpoints that feel familiar or natural to them, often without critical evaluation. This can manifest in various ways, such as a preference for traditional customs, resistance to foreign ideas, or an assumption that certain ways of thinking are universally applicable.
This bias can be influenced by a range of factors, including social conditioning, education, and personal experiences.
