Answer 1

Each bias type is matched with its corresponding definition, such as outcome bias linked to the focus on outcomes of events and confirmation bias to the search for information that affirms existing beliefs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The matching of each definition to the type of bias it describes is as follows:

1. Outcome bias: draws conclusions based solely on the outcomes of previous events, without considering other contributing factors.
2. Blind-spot bias: notices biases in others but not in oneself.
3. Negativity bias: focuses solely on negative events rather than the positive or neutral events.
4. Confirmation bias: seeks out information and data that only confirms pre-existing ideas or beliefs.
5. Anchoring bias: relies heavily on the first source encountered.
