True or False: The following scenario is an example of confirmation bias. John hears a rumor that his co-worker Barry is having an affair with his co-worker Mary, but he is initially unsure that it is true. On Monday, John notices that Barry smiling at Mary when talking about their TPS reports. On Tuesday, John observes Mary holding eye-contact with Barry while discussing the situation with the loading dock. Finally, on Wednesday John sees Barry wink at Mary after telling her an anecdote that ended with him saying “I tried to enter the bare-knuckle boxing tournament this past weekend but for the life of me I couldn’t find anywhere to get bear knuckles.” At this point, John is certain that they were having an affair.
