fictive bias

The accidental bias developed after discussing something with a fictive about their source that may differ from the actual media. While fictives are not the characters from their source, they may still have attachment to that media and memories and opinions about it. Sharing these thoughts and feelings with others could result in a bias toward or against someone or something due to information only that fictive would have, making it unexplainable to fandom-goers.

Bias Blind Spot

The ingrained inability to perceive the influence of your own cognitive biases on your judgments, while being acutely aware of how biases distort everyone else's thinking. You understand that confirmation bias makes your uncle's news feed a conspiracy theory echo chamber, but you'd never entertain the idea that your own curated feed creates a progressive or libertarian echo chamber just as potent. Your biases are "critical thinking"; other people's biases are "brainwashing."
Example: "She could write a dissertation on the availability bias skewing public fear of plane crashes, but couldn't see how the same bias made her irrationally terrified of moving to a new city after binge-watching crime dramas. Her bias blind spot was so total, she diagnosed cognitive distortions in others as a hobby while living in a glass house of her own."

Self-Serving Bias

The subconscious psychological engine that drives us to interpret information, attribute causes, and remember events in ways that flatter our self-image and protect our self-esteem. We attribute our successes to skill and effort (internal factors) and our failures to bad luck or external circumstances. It's the brain's auto-tune for life's recording, making you always sound just a little bit more in tune and talented than you actually were.
Example: "When he aced the project, it was due to his brilliant strategic mind. When he botched the presentation, it was because the projector was faulty, the audience was tired, and he had a mild headache. That's self-serving bias: the internal narrator of his life story is a shameless, flattering publicist hired by his own ego."
