Motivated reasoning is an emotion-biased, decision-making phenomenon studied in cognitive science and social psychology. This term describes the role of motivation in cognitive processes such as decision-making and attitude change in a number of paradigms. Motivated reasoning works with cognitive dissonance reduction to reduce bias between contradictory beliefs. It also plays a role in the decisions one makes regarding other objectives when guided towards one's own outcome. Motivated reasoning also uses evaluation of evidence to guide individuals to their end decisions, including:
Cognitive dissonance reduction and the separation of biased results..
Beliefs about others on whom one's own outcomes depend
Evaluation of evidence related to one's own outcomes
