Friday Philosophies: Action Bias

The Twelfth House

Join our host, Michelle Pellizzon and her special guest, Holisticism's Social Media Manager, KP Pilley, as they explore the psychological phenomenon of action bias and its implications on decision-making, online activism, entrepreneurship, and navigating uncertainty in today's world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Action bias is when we prefer action over inaction, even when waiting or doing nothing may be the better choice.


• Action bias makes people jump to conclusions without thinking it through, which can spread rumors or unexpected consequences.


• Action bias can manifest in different situations like online activism, making business calls, or dealing with stress or uncertainty.


• While action bias may have offered evolutionary benefits, it's important to be mindful of it and consider alternative options rather than acting impulsively.


• Entrepreneurs and creatives in particular can often mistake planning with taking concrete actions, emphasizing the importance of pausing for reflection before initiating a new project or business.
