Question 32 (5.5 points) ? Saved
Ellie sees herself as thoughtful about the environment. She has a goal to reduce her
carbon footprint and makes choices in her daily life to reflect this goal. One day, her
partner comes home and says their electric lawnmower is broken and that they have
pulled money from the vacation wish jar, to by a new, powerful gasoline-powered
mower. Ellie is dumbfounded. The following Saturday, Elly finds her self behind the
new mower, cutting the grass. The extra power makes mowing the hill next to the
garage a breeze. Quietly, Ellie decides she really likes the new gas-powered mower.
This makes her feel uneasy, so she reminds herself of all the smart environmentally
friendly purchases she is made in the past few months. Ellie is engaging in
trivial confirmation bias

insufficient justification
