Belief Perseverance Effects

Effects in which a belief is held or revised too little after new information contradicts it, including belief perseverance, the backfire effect and conservatism bias. A phenomenon belongs here when its cited article describes holding a belief against contrary evidence. Every member sits in the Psychology Atlas as its own page with a definition, cited sources and links to related effects, so the group works as a reading path through Belief Perseverance Effects rather than as a claim that the members share one cause. Where scholars disagree about how an effect should be classified, the member page says so.
