Definitionv1DF-160
Bias blind spot
the phenomenon where people readily identify biases operating in others while insisting that their own judgments are objective, with no correlation to cognitive ability or education
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'bias blind spot' by naming the phenomenon, describing its core characteristics (identifying others' biases while denying one's own), and distinguishing it from intelligence or education factors. It directly references the Pronin et al. (2002) study cited in the lesson.
