Ignore or deny information that conflicts with existing beliefs ("This doughnut is not a high-sugar food.")
Three cognitive biases are components of dissonance theory. The bias where one feels they do not have any biases. The bias where one is "better, kinder, smarter, more moral and nicer than average" and the confirmation bias.[18] "
