Status Quo Bias

What is the Status Quo Bias?

We stick with what we know, even if it’s not ideal and change would be beneficial. 

Why does this happen?

• We’re lazy and want to conserve energy. Evaluating new things takes brainpower.

• We’re loss averse; if something feels risky, we’ll avoid it.

• We’re pot-committed to the current state, we’ve invested so much in the current state, why change?

• We want to avoid mistakes and irreversible decisions.
