A bias where one automatically contests, challenges, or disputes any information that doesn't align with preexisting views. Contestation Bias doesn't just ignore opposing evidence; it actively fights it, demanding impossible standards, shifting goalposts, and finding reasons to reject. It's the bias of perpetual opposition—the mind that says "no" before hearing the question.
"Every study she cited, he contested. Methodology, sample size, funding source—always a reason to reject. Contestation Bias isn't skepticism; it's automatic opposition. Not "show me evidence," but "your evidence is never enough." The contest is the point; truth is secondary."
