=== Mental health === Studies on attribution bias and mental health suggest that people who have mental illnesses are more likely to hold attribution biases.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Achim|first1=Amelie M.|last2=Sutliff|first2=Stephanie|last3=Samson|first3=Crystal|last4=Montreuil|first4=Tina C.|last5=Lecomte|first5=Tania|date=2016-02-23|title=Attribution bias and social anxiety in schizophrenia|journal=Schizophrenia Research: Cognition|volume=4|pages=1β3|doi=10.1016/j.scog.2016.01.001|issn=2215-0013|pmc=5506709|pmid=28740807}}</ref> People who have mental illness tend to have a lower self-esteem, experience social avoidance, and do not commit to improving their overall quality of life, often as a result of lack of motivation. People with these problems tend to feel strongly about their attribution biases and will quickly make their biases known. These problems are called social cognition biases and are even present in those with less severe mental problems. There are many kinds of cognitive biases that affect people in different ways, but all may lead to irrational thinking, judgment, and decision-making.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=What are Cognitive Biases?|url=https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/topics/cognitive-biases|access-date=2019-08-03|website=The Interaction Design Foundation|language=en}}</ref>
