Motivated reasoning is a cognitive bias that occurs when people access, construct, and evaluate arguments in a way that supports their pre-existing beliefs or values. It is a form of reasoning where people endorse their preferred conclusion, even if it is not supported by evidence. Motivated reasoning can be seen in many areas of life, including politics, religion, and science. It is often used to defend one's ideas, even if they are wrong.
