Confirmation Bias: People tend to seek out information that confirms their preexisting beliefs and ignore or downplay evidence that contradicts them.

First Impressions: First impressions are formed within seconds of meeting someone and can significantly influence how we perceive and interact with them.

Emotional Contagion: Emotions can be contagious, and people often unconsciously mimic the emotions of those around them, leading to a shared emotional experience.

Cognitive Dissonance: When confronted with conflicting beliefs or ideas, people experience cognitive dissonance, which causes discomfort and motivates them to resolve the inconsistency.

Halo Effect: The halo effect refers to the tendency to judge someone positively in one aspect and assume they have other positive qualities as well, even in areas unrelated to the initial judgment.

Self-Serving Bias: People often attribute their successes to personal qualities and skills while blaming external factors for their failures, protecting their self-esteem.

Recency Effect: The recency effect is the tendency to better remember and prioritize information that was encountered recently over earlier information.

Groupthink: In group settings, the desire for harmony and conformity can lead to groupthink, where individuals suppress dissenting opinions and critical thinking to maintain consensus.

Anchoring Bias: When making decisions, people tend to rely heavily on the first piece of information they receive (the anchor) and adjust insufficiently from that starting point.

Fundamental Attribution Error: In explaining others' behavior, people often overemphasize internal traits and underestimate the influence of situational factors.

False Memory: Memory is not always accurate, and people can develop false memories, recalling events that never occurred due to suggestion or other factors.

The Zeigarnik Effect: People remember uncompleted or interrupted tasks better than completed ones, leading to a sense of mental tension until the task is finished.

Social Loafing: In group situations, individuals may exert less effort when their contributions are pooled together, assuming others will pick up the slack.

Placebo Effect: Believing in the effectiveness of a treatment can lead to positive outcomes, even if the treatment itself has no inherent therapeutic value.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: People's beliefs and expectations about a situation can lead them to act in ways that make those beliefs come true.
