Answer 1

He or she is showing - Confirmation bias

Answer 2

The answer is: Social identity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The social identity is a product of the binomial belonging-comparison that implies two distinctions, the one in which the group defines itself based on the characteristics that make them common and the one that results from their differences with the others:

The first distinction is made by the actors themselves who form the group and who become aware of the common characteristic they possess and define them as members of that group.

And the second distinction is the identity of a social group from outside, that is, the identity of that group is supported only by the one who enunciates it, and consists in the identification of a common characteristic shared by the actors that form that group.

The answer is: Social identity.
