\"optimism<\/p>\n

As individuals, we always expect good outcomes and results, both in our personal as well as our professional endeavors. Interestingly, our larger community and society also often encourages optimism, and individuals who exhibit positivity tend to receive more support and encouragement. However, on many occasions, these expectations often fail to deliver the kind of results we want or aspire for. <\/span><\/p>\n

This does not stop us from being positive, believing that only good things can come out of the work or tasks that we do in comparison to others. <\/span>Similarly, in research too, students and researchers may often experience a cognitive bias that is termed as optimism bias \u2013 where they believe that the tasks that they do or the efforts that they put into an activity will have positive results as compared to others.<\/span><\/p>\n
