Role of mental orientations in information analyses

This study attempts to investigate cognitive prejudices affecting self and other assessment. Methodologically, scientific documents were investigated based on both fields and content analysis approaches and Campelʹs semi-experimental research design. Participants of the study were Y i command and staff students of the Army of the J.R. of Iran, who attended a four-phase experiment in the summer of Y —A conducted in one to three weeks interval in between. The participants received both pre -test and post-test. Findings reveal the facts that our information-based judgments are not as valid as expected or as less valid as others anticipate. Such impressions originate from inevitable prejudices anchored in our unconscious mind which are almost too difficult to defeat. It is concluded that we should identify other models of analysis and apply them, be aware of mirrored pictures past-thinking and opponent-identification techniques and exercise our creative thinking.
