Reactance bias

Curated Category: decision-framing

Rejecting guidance because it is perceived as limiting autonomy.

The narrative resists proposals primarily due to perceived external control, while evidence quality and outcome tradeoffs are underweighted.

Detection signals

  • Constraint framing dominates argumentation.
  • Evidence is secondary to autonomy language.
  • Rejection occurs before policy/evidence evaluation.

Caution notes

  • Civil-liberty concerns can be legitimate and evidence-based.
  • Mark bias when autonomy framing fully displaces substance.
