In this episode of the Wisconsin Wellness Podcast, host Laurie Groh explores how cognitive biases might detrimentally affect personal relationships. Discussed biases include negativity bias, confirmation bias, and the priming effect. Laurie describes how these biases are deeply ingrained in human nature because of their adaptive significance in survival. However, they can obstruct the perception of reality within interpersonal dynamics, especially romantic partnerships, leading to misunderstandings and conflicts.
Groh suggests recognizing and challenging these biases as a way to improve relationships. She supports her discussion with relevant examples and research studies, as well as an exercise to illustrate how biases influence perception. Also, the podcast underscores the necessity for self-love and communication in a relationship.
