Reactive devaluation

Reactive devaluation is a cognitive bias that occurs when a proposal is devalued if it appears to originate from an antagonist. The bias was proposed by Lee Ross and Constance Stillinger (1988).[1]

Reactive devaluation could be caused by loss aversion or attitude polarization,[2] or naïve realism.[3]
