Motivated reasoning is an emotion-biased decision-making phenomenon studied in cognitive science and social psychology. This term describes the role of motivation in cognitive processes such as decision-making and attitude change in a number of paradigms, including: * Cognitive dissonance reduction〔O'Leary, Ann. ("Teaching Tip Sheet: Motivated Reasoning," ) American Psychological Association (APA); citing 〕 * Beliefs about others on whom one's own outcomes depend〔 * Evaluation of evidence related to one's own outcomes〔 ==Cognitive strategy== The processes of motivated reasoning are a type of inferred justification strategy which is used to mitigate cognitive dissonance. When people form and cling to false beliefs despite overwhelming evidence, the phenomenon is labeled "motivated reasoning". In other words, "rather than search rationally for information that either confirms or disconfirms a particular belief, people actually seek out information that confirms what they already believe."〔Begley, Sharon. ( "Lies of Mass Destruction," ) ''Newsweek'' (US). August 25, 2009.〕 This is "a form of implicit emotion regulation in which the brain converges on judgments that minimize negative and maximize positive affect states associated with threat to or attainment of motives."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Motivated reasoning」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
