A Cognitive Bias of the Corona Virus PandemicCourtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPLanner.org
By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA
Compassion Fade is a cognitive bias that predisposes people to behave more compassionately towards a small number of identifiable victims than to a large number of anonymous ones.
It is the psychological explanation to the known phenomenon alluded to by Joseph Stalin in his famous quote “The death of one man is a tragedy; the death of millions is a statistic”.

Empathy Gap:
Underestimating how you’ll behave when you’re “hot” (angry/aroused/rushed), caused by the inability to accurately foresee how your body’s physical response to situations (dopamine, adrenaline, etc.) will influence decision-making.
