Abstract

The current study aimed to find out the relationship between cognitive biases and Problem-Solving Methods, and the impact of this relationship. The study sample consisted of (530) (students, employees, managers); (200) male and female students (94 males, 106 females); (200) employees (104 females, 96 males); and (130) managers (61 females, 69 males) whose ages range from (20 to 60 years) with an average age of (39.6) and a standard deviation of (9.5). They were applied to a cognitive biases scale prepared by Van der Gaag and his companions (translated by the researcher), and a measure of Problem-Solving Methods (prepared by the researcher). The results of the study included: There is a positive correlation at the significance level of 0.01 between the total score of the cognitive biases scale, the impulsive style, and the avoidant style. As for the rational style, the correlation was negative at the significance level of 0.01; There was a significant negative effect at the level of 0.01 for each of (safe behaviors, subjective social problems) on the total score of the rational style, while for the dimension (attention to determinants, jumping to conclusions), the effect was positive at the level of significance of 0.01, 0. 05. Also, there was a significant positive effect at the level of 0.01 for each of (subjective social problems, safe behaviors, rigid beliefs, and social cognitive problems) on the total score of impulsive style. Finally, there was a significant positive effect at the level of 0.01 for each of (subjective social problems, Safe behaviours, social cognitive problems) on the total score of avoidant style.
