Redirect to:

Belief perseverance

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-The '''backfire effect''' is a term used to describe a [[cognitive bias]] that causes individuals challenged with evidence contradictory to their beliefs to reject the evidence and instead become an even firmer supporter of the initial belief.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.skepdic.com/backfireeffect.html|title=backfire effect|work=[[The Skeptic's Dictionary]]|accessdate=26 April 2012}}</ref><ref name='CJR'>{{cite web | url = http://www.cjr.org/behind_the_news/the_backfire_effect.php?page=all | title = The Backfire Effect | accessdate = 2012-05-01 | last = Silverman | first = Craig | date = 2011-06-17 | work = Columbia Journalism Review | quote = When your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger.}}</ref> The phrase was first coined by [[Brendan Nyhan]] and Jason Reifler in  a paper entitle ''"When Corrections Fail:
