People tend to seek out information that confirms their existing beliefs while ignoring information that contradicts their existing beliefs. This is referred to as confirmation of expectations. It contributes significantly to confirmation bias, a type of cognitive bias. This desire for confirmation causes us to avoid information that challenges our worldview.
