Abstract | Examined the emergence of theory-motivated reasoning biases when early and middle adolescents evaluated evidence either congruent or incongruent to their theories of social class or religion. Found that higher order scientific reasoning was used to reject theory-incongruent evidence; judgmental heuristics were used to evaluate theory-congruent evidence. Beliefs regarding origin, acquisition, and certainty of knowledge moderated reasoning biases and theory polarization. (Author/KB) |
