Individual bias

Individual bias is a persistent point of view or limited list of such points of view that one applies ("parent", "academic", "professional", or etc.).

It is one of the origins of editorial bias but is usually rooted in a w:cognitive bias (one's "life" and the events of it), w:cultural bias and w:confirmation bias (one's "loyalty" to a group and its ideals) and also the w:infrastructural capital (one's "locality" and environment that affords one daily actions, e.g. roads and stairs versus rivers and trees).

It is not possible to simply lose one's bias. But one can challenge it or ask it to be challenged, e.g. by entering an w:adversarial process.

Methodological pluralism suggests that one must from time to time behaving according to the opposite of rules one applies. This is actually the principle behind some festivals, like Mardi Gras.
