Motivational Bias01:25

Motivational Bias

Cognitive bias results from limitations in thinking and information processing, leading to systematic errors in judgment. Conversely, motivational bias stems from personal desires or emotions, causing distortions in perception to align with self-interest. Motivational bias influences how individuals perceive and attribute causes to events, often shaped by personal needs, goals, and self-esteem preservation. This bias can distort judgment, leading to inaccurate assessments of success, failure,...

Introduction to Cognitive Psychology

Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think. It attempts to explain how and why we think the way we do by studying the interactions among human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem-solving, as well as other cognitive processes. Cognitive psychology studies how information is processed and manipulated in remembering, thinking, and knowing.
This field emerged in the mid-20th century, following a period dominated by behaviorism, which...
Correspondence Bias01:17

Correspondence Bias

Correspondence bias, also referred to as the fundamental attribution error, describes the tendency to attribute another person’s behavior to internal characteristics rather than situational influences. This cognitive bias leads individuals to overlook external factors that may be influencing actions, thereby fostering potentially inaccurate assessments of others’ intentions and dispositions.Empirical Evidence for Correspondence BiasResearch has consistently demonstrated the prevalence of...
Bias01:22

Bias

Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...
Fundamental Attribution Error01:14

Fundamental Attribution Error

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is called the fundamental attribution...
Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Translation Studies
  • Human-AI Interaction

Background:

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) translation is increasingly used in professional and educational settings.
  • Translator perceptions of machine vs. human translation may influence their behavior.
  • Cognitive bias can affect how translators evaluate and revise texts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of cognitive bias in post-editing.
  • To examine how beliefs about translation sources (human or AI) affect evaluation and revision.
  • To understand how perceived source identity influences linguistic judgment and editing.

Main Methods:

  • A between-subjects experiment with 60 Translation and Interpreting master students.
  • Experimental group received mislabeled texts (human as AI, AI as human).
  • Control group received accurately labeled texts.
  • Participants evaluated translations on fidelity, fluency, and completeness, and performed post-editing.

Main Results:

  • Perceived AI labels led to lower trust and increased post-editing intensity.
  • Heightened error sensitivity and more conservative quality ratings were observed for perceived AI texts.
  • Decisions were driven by perceived source identity rather than objective translation quality.

Conclusions:

  • A subtle language-related cognitive bias exists, where perceived source influences judgment.
  • Findings provide empirical insights into human-AI interaction in translation.
  • Offers pedagogical implications for critical post-editing literacy and inclusive AI attitudes.
