2. Self Verification
Definition
Effects
A social psychological theory that asserts people who want to be known
and understood by others according to their own beliefs and feelings
towards themselves.
One will changes his or her attitude and behaviour in order to show the self
that they would want others to perceive.

3. Shreya monologued that Cham didn’t appreciate her and understand her
even though she has a pretty face, caring and loving personality. This
makes her doubt that how Cham has perceived her from the start. Is it the
same as how she thinks of herself? This is called the self verification.
I’m pretty, considerate,
caring and most
importantly, I treated
him so good. Why didn’t
he appreciate me???

4. Self Serving Bias
Definition
Effects
The self-serving bias refers to a tendency for people to take personal
responsibility for their desirable outcomes yet externalise responsibility
for their undesirable outcomes.
One will never learn their mistakes

5. Shreya monologued that she shouldn’t be the one crying and be sad of what
had happened. She thinks that she’s not the one to be blamed. However, it
is Cham who should be blamed. In this case, Shreya showed self serving
bias as she take externalise responsibility for the undesirable outcome.
Why am I the one to be
blamed. He should have
blamed himself. Not me.
I shouldn’t cry. I should
be happy that he’s gone.

6. Negativity Bias
Definition
Effects
Negativity bias describes a cognitive bias in which more attention and
importance are placed on negative experiences and information.
The negativity bias is the phenomena by which humans give more
psychological weight to bad experiences than the good ones.

7. In the flashback, Shreya tends to recall the negative stuff more than the
good ones. This is called the negativity bias. Shreya choses to think of the
bad and unpleasant memories. She unconsciously places a lot attention on
the negative experiences and information than the positive ones.
I’m so so so sorry
that I’m late. I was
up with some
stuff. I’m.. sorry.

8. Confirmation Bias
Definition
Effects
A confirmation bias is a type of cognitive bias that involves favouring
information that confirms previously existing beliefs or biases.
First, it prevents people from looking at situations objectively. Secondly, it
influences the decisions made. Lastly, it may lead to poor or faulty
decisions.

9. Gynie has confirmation bias towards all good-looking guys having a kind
heart, loving and caring personality. This is explained as how Gynie
ignored Shreya’s advice and only listened to Giselle’s opinions.
They are so HOT!!! I
think he winked at
me. OH MY
GAWDDDD!!!
YAAAAAA!!! NO, I
THINK HE WINKED
AT ME!!!
DUHHHHH… STOP IT.

10. Stereotype
Definition
Effects
A fixed, over generalised belief about a particular group or class of people
One tends to ignore the differences between each and every individual.

11. After breaking up with Cham, Shreya have come to her own conclusion
saying that all boys are irritating, inconsiderate, annoying, displeasing etc.
She stereotyped all guys with those flirty, bad, vexatious ones like how she
think of her ex-boyfriend, Cham.
All guys like to complain,
nag, and they are always
LATE! Trust me. All of
them are the SAME.

12. Thank You!
