Answer from: Tajaachambliss7

Wes is influenced by representativeness bias

Further explanation

Often we assume the truth that is believed today is absolute, without questioning other possibilities and mistakes of our way of thinking. In some cases and conditions, our thoughts may be right or wrong, but maybe not completely.

Bias itself is a presentation of material that is filled with prejudice. It also means consistent errors in estimating value. There are many kinds of biases according to the psychological perspective including the following:

1. Confirmation bias

A person's tendency to look for evidence that is following his personal opinion without looking for evidence that negates it or is contradictory. Mistakes of this kind of thinking often occur to us.

2. In-group bias

In-group bias is the tendency for someone to assume the group is the best / right/absolute so that the perception that other groups are wrong is created.

3. Neglecting Probability Bias

Neglecting probability bias is our inability to properly understand the dangers and risks involved.

4. Status-quo bias

This bias is usually used in social, economic and political terms. The status-quo bias is the assumption that running something like now is more profitable than trying changes.

5. Negativity bias

Our tendency to focus more on negative information or experiences than on positive ones. When we experience good and bad experiences in one day at a time we will tend to talk about the calamity that we experience.

6. Representativeness bias

This bias is interpreted as our tendency to make decisions based on stereotypical thinking. The point is that someone will make a decision that is grounded in experience and also following the mental picture.

An employee of the state government always received his state paycheck on the last workday of the month. the employee was not a good money manager, and just barely managed to make it from paycheck to paycheck each month. on the second to the last workday of the month, the employee had $45 in his checking account, and, needing to buy a birthday gift for his sister, he wrote a check to a gift boutique for $100. he knew that he would be receiving his paycheck the next day, so he could deposit the paycheck before the check would be sent to the bank. however, unbeknownst to the employee, the state legislature was having a budget impasse. because the state constitution prohibited any deficit spending, state employees were not paid as usual. without a paycheck to deposit, the check written to the gift boutique was returned for insufficient funds. the merchant complained to the police, who arrested the employee and charged him under a statute that prohibited "issuing a check knowing that it is drawn against insufficient funds, with intent to defraud the payee of the check."what should be the outcome of the employee's prosecution? a not guilty, because the employee intended to deposit his paycheck the next day. b not guilty, because it was reasonable for the employee to expect that he would receive his paycheck as usual. c guilty, because the employee knew when he wrote the check that he did not have sufficient funds in his account to honor it. d guilty, because reliance on a future source of income does not vitiate the employee's violation of the statute when he wrote the check.
