How do we protect our beliefs according to the text?

Radar
Filtering
Messages
Over-Power

The correct answer is: Filtering

In the context of protecting our beliefs, the term "filtering" refers to the cognitive bias wherein individuals only pay attention to information that aligns with their existing beliefs while ignoring or dismissing information that contradicts them. This process helps to reinforce and protect our beliefs by selectively processing information. Option A, radar, does not accurately describe the concept of protecting beliefs as it relates to cognitive biases. Option C, messages, is too vague and does not directly address the process of filtering information to protect beliefs. Option D, over-power, is not a term commonly used in the context of cognitive biases related to belief protection.
