Особенности когнитивных искажений в онлайн- и офлайн-среде: систематический обзор литературы
Introduction. The perception of information is influenced by active digitalization, making it increasingly important to study thinking and factors affecting it. This systematic review examines the psychological study of cognitive biases (cognitive distortions) and aims to systematize accumulated knowledge about cognitive biases in offline and online environments.
Materials and Methods. The systematic literature review was conducted using electronic library systems: Google Scholar, E-library, PubMed, Ebsco. The articles in Russian and English were selected. The selection criteria were: type of research, full-text access, and a detailed description of the methodology and research results. The total corpus of articles consisted of 203 studies from 2002 to 2024, and 19 articles were selected for subsequent analysis.
Results. During a systematic analysis of selected articles, three areas of research were identified and described based on the relationship between cognitive biases and the following phenomena: personality traits, the nature of interpersonal interaction, and demographic characteristics. It was found that the presence of certain personality characteristics (e. g., anxiety, tendency to be lonely) is associated with specific types of biases, including catastrophizing and dichotomous thinking, regardless of the environment type. Interpersonal cognitive biases are interrelated with the manifestation of deviant behavior in online interaction. In both environments, there are special features in the manifestation of cognitive biases in individuals having different demographic characteristics.
Conclusion. Based on the systematic analysis, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) cognitive biases are multifactorial in nature, including personal, interpersonal, and demographic factors; (2) the type of environment is not a factor that determines the specifics of cognitive biases in individuals with different personality or demographic characteristics, while the interpersonal factor of cognitive biases requires further study. Promising areas of research include cross-cultural comparisons and the study of cognitive biases across different professional and age groups.
