Confirmation bias is the scientific name for the tendency we have to act economically in a way that confirms our current beliefs. A great example is found in a study of Mercedes Benz buyers. When buying the same model, it was found that current owners, who presumably already believe in the value of a Mercedes, paid $7,000 more, on average, than new Mercedes customers.

You can imagine the value of this knowledge to companies that sell high-priced items more than once to a customer. You can use this principle in other ways too. Suppose you are selling homes. Asking the buyer what style of home he thinks is best, and letting him make his arguments might also make him much more interested in a home if you show him "his" style.

In a typical study, for example, customers might be given a choice of televisions costing $300, $500, and $700. Not many choose the $700 one, unless one simple change is made: add a $1200 television to the selection. Consistently, then, more will choose the $700 television, because it is no longer the most expensive one (the extreme).
