Negativity bias is a psychological phenomenon where negative experiences or information have a greater impact on an individual's thoughts and behaviors than positive ones. This means that people are more likely to remember and react to negative events, such as criticism or failure, compared to positive experiences like praise or success. This bias can influence decision-making and emotional responses. This tendency is thought to have evolutionary roots, as being more attuned to threats and dangers could enhance survival. In everyday life, negativity bias can affect relationships, workplace dynamics, and mental health, leading individuals to focus more on problems than on positive aspects of their lives.
