Panelling bias refers to the tendency for a group of individuals to make decisions or form opinions based on the dominant views expressed within their social or professional circle, rather than considering all available information objectively. This bias can occur in various settings, such as in a boardroom meeting, a political discussion, or even among friends. It can lead to a narrow-minded approach and limit the diversity of perspectives, ultimately hindering the ability to make well-informed and unbiased decisions. Panelling bias can also perpetuate groupthink and discourage dissenting opinions, resulting in a homogenous and potentially flawed outcome. It is important to be aware of this bias and actively seek out diverse viewpoints to avoid its influence.
