Violent behaviour by an individual with a psychological disorder generally receives more attention ...

Violent behaviour by an individual with a psychological disorder generally receives more attention than nonviolent behaviour. What does this lead to?

▸ the availability heuristic, which leads people to overestimate the likelihood of violence by those with psychological disorders

▸ the conjunction fallacy, which leads people to overestimate rates of comorbidity

▸ hindsight bias, which leads people to predict future episodes of violent behaviour

▸ the representativeness heuristic, which leads people to underestimate the number of individuals with mental disorders.
