Anchoring Bias By Daniel Chen Anchoring Bias is when the first information you get affects how you see similar information later. The reason people are easily affected by anchoring bias is our brains are lazy so we make shortcuts for every similar information. One example is when I saw the price of some Lego it is about 1200, I will decide whether other Lego products are expensive or not base on the first one that I saw, I well think it's expensive if it's above 1200.

Anchoring Bias By Yiler Huang Anchoring Bias is a bias that happens a lot subconsciously in many of our life decisions. When new information is presented to you, it often becomes an “anchor” for similar information and affects your decisions in certain ways. For example, the first “expensive” item I owned was a Nintendo 3DS (a handheld console) that I got at around 9. At that time I would compare the prices of many things with the 3DS to determine if something is pricey or not. In this case t…

Anchoring Bias Experiment By Yiler Huang Anchoring bias is a common subconscious thinking mistake that most people have fallen into in their life. When we are presented with new information, it often becomes our reference for similar information. It is widely seen in marketing, negotiating, debating etc. While some examples of anchoring bias are harmful, others won’t affect one’s life very much. In an attempt to observe this bias happening in real life, we designed a simple experiment.
