      Question

      Chandra is planning a team-building weekend trip and

      wants the trip to take place at Goa. However, he is unable to find a venue that can accommodate the team at a reasonable price. So he gives up, and does the team-building weekend in the office building itself. What bias or error is done here by Chandra?
      A Overconfidence bias Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Confirmation bias Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Commitment bias Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Availability bias Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Hindsight bias Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Commitment bias, or escalation of commitment, is described as the tendency to remain committed to our past behaviors/thought or idea, even if they do not have desirable outcomes. Here, Chandra was committed to the idea of meeting in Goa. He likely could have planned a good trip at a different location, but since he did not give up the idea in time, he ended up having a lack-luster event.
