Perception of Dominance

Availability Heuristic

If you can recall it, it must be important.

Bias towards information or actions you can more easily recall (such as recent news or things with major consequences).

Representativeness Heuristic

Presumption that people or events share the features of other members in that category.

What You See Is All There Is (WYSIATI)

(Show pie graph as counter to this.)

Affective Errors

Tendency to make decisions based on what we wish is true.

Applies to folks we like, which can affect the quality of our judgement. Brooke Harrington's research on investment clubs showed clubs formed primarily through professional bonds — as opposed to social ones — earned higher returns. “One of the things that can torpedo group performance is when people are too socially enmeshed with one another. They can become reluctant to really be direct and honest with one another.”
