Bias Handbook is a curated reference guide to the cognitive and behavioral biases that shape human thinking, judgment, and decision-making — now with visual diagrams for every bias and a built-in library of the behavioral-design frameworks professionals use to change behavior. Explore well-known biases such as confirmation bias, anchoring, survivorship bias, framing effects, the availability heuristic, and many more — each with a clear definition, real-world examples, a visual diagram, and links to related biases. New in this version: the Frameworks tab. Go beyond spotting biases to actually applying behavioral science, with 12 of the field's most trusted frameworks — COM-B, the Behaviour Change Wheel, the Theoretical Domains Framework, the BCT Taxonomy, EAST, MINDSPACE, Nudge, the Fogg Behaviour Model, Self-Determination Theory, Dual-Process (System 1/2), the Theory of Planned Behaviour, and the Transtheoretical Model. Each is explained in depth, illustrated with its own diagram, and cited to its original peer-reviewed or government source.
