I'm using the same clip from a previous post because it applies to many ideas. The following clips are when Ross and Phoebe argue about evolution. Before I talked about Ross and Phoebe's biopsychosocial approach but this time I'm looking at Ross's cognitive thinking. Specifically how Ross forms his judgment on the issue.
Ross and Phoebe Argue about Evolution
First Ross is overconfident. Overconfidence is a tendency to be more confident than correct or to overestimate the accuracy of our beliefs and judgments. With a topic like evolution, that people all have a strong feeling about either for or against, it's easy for someone to get overly emotional on their view.
Another thing is that Ross loses his belief perseverance in the following clip. Belief perseverance is clinging to one's initial conception after the basis on which they were formed has been discredited. Phoebe convinces Ross that science has been wrong in the past and that their is a chance they are wrong this time. She couldn't believe that she got him cave on his beliefs even the slightest.
