The correct answers are:

  • Discounting the future: This is a psychological bias where individuals give disproportionate weight to immediate rewards over future benefits. This can lead to poor decision-making, as people may choose options that provide short-term gratification at the expense of long-term gains.

  • Illusion of control: This bias occurs when people overestimate their ability to control events, leading to overconfidence in their decision-making. This can result in taking unnecessary risks or failing to prepare for potential negative outcomes.

  • Framing effects: This bias involves the way information is presented, which can significantly influence decision-making. The same information can lead to different decisions depending on how it is framed, such as focusing on potential losses versus potential gains.

Competitive advantage is not a psychological bias. It refers to a business's ability to perform better than its competitors, which is a strategic concept rather than a cognitive bias.
