single word requests - What is the name of the behavior that makes you believe more in something when it contradicts your beliefs?
What is the name of a common human behavior that makes you believe more in one thing when you are contradicted?
I read an article a while ago about this behavior saying that people naturally (or instinctively) tend to pay more attention to details that are the opposite beliefs of the ones with which he agrees.
A good example for that is a fanatic religious person, that the more you try to convince someone that his beliefs are wrong, the more he gets convinced that you are talking bullshit.
I am pretty sure there is a name for that, does anybody know?
