As the introduction to this week explains, and as the reading in your course text elaborates,
recognizing bias and errors in thinking is vital to the study of cross-cultural psychology. Awareness
of your thought processes is fundamental to gaining insight into how you think about culture and to
expanding your capacity to think more broadly and objectively about people you meet and human
activities you observe. The ability to think about thinking, or metathinking, also develops the critical
inquiry and problem-solving skills that are valued in many careers.
Keep in mind that bias and errors in thinking are very human. The root cause is often the mind’s
effort to save time and take shortcuts in understanding and responding to situations, which may
impact accurate decision making. That is why developing critical thinking skills involves evaluating
your own thinking in order to know your vulnerabilities and how to enhance your decision-making

skills. As you do this, you will also become more aware of errors others make when interacting with
you.
For this Discussion, you will consider several biases and errors in thinking and how at least one
applies to you. Be honest in your self-assessment and remember that you are focusing on how you
think—not people in general.
Review the Walden Writing Center guidelines on scholarly writing and the page on APA style.
Review this week’s Learning Resources. Review the information in Chapter 2 of your course text
on the following biases or errors in thinking, including the exercise and/or antidote feature for
each:
Fundamental attribution error
Self-fulfilling prophecy
Naturalistic fallacy
Assimilation bias
Representativeness bias
Availability bias
Review the “Cognitive Biases and Errors in Thinking” interactive media to further help
understand these concepts.
Choose at least one of the six biases or errors in thinking that is an issue for you when
interacting with other people who are different from you in some way, such as in appearance,
behavior, language, and/or ideas.

Based on this activity, speculate about the way(s) that bias and thinking errors may affect
relationships between people of different races, ethnicities, religions, genders, or other types of
differences.

As the introduction to this week explains, and as the reading in your course text elaborates,
recognizing bias and errors in thinking is vital to the study of cross-cultural psychology. Awareness
of your thought processes is fundamental to gaining insight into how you think about culture and to
expanding your capacity to think more broadly and objectively about people you meet and human
activities you observe. The ability to think about thinking, or metathinking, also develops the critical
inquiry and problem-solving skills that are valued in many careers.
Keep in mind that bias and errors in thinking are very human. The root cause is often the mind’s
effort to save time and take shortcuts in understanding and responding to situations, which may
impact accurate decision making. That is why developing critical thinking skills involves evaluating
your own thinking in order to know your vulnerabilities and how to enhance your decision-making

skills. As you do this, you will also become more aware of errors others make when interacting with
you.
For this Discussion, you will consider several biases and errors in thinking and how at least one
applies to you. Be honest in your self-assessment and remember that you are focusing on how you
think—not people in general.
Review the Walden Writing Center guidelines on scholarly writing and the page on APA style.
Review this week’s Learning Resources. Review the information in Chapter 2 of your course text
on the following biases or errors in thinking, including the exercise and/or antidote feature for
each:
Fundamental attribution error
Self-fulfilling prophecy
Naturalistic fallacy
Assimilation bias
Representativeness bias
Availability bias
Review the “Cognitive Biases and Errors in Thinking” interactive media to further help
understand these concepts.
Choose at least one of the six biases or errors in thinking that is an issue for you when
interacting with other people who are different from you in some way, such as in appearance,
behavior, language, and/or ideas.
