    El biaix del statu quo fa que les persones preferixin mantenir l'estat actual de les coses a fer canvis, fins i tot quan aquests canvis podrien ser beneficiosos. Aquest biaix es basa en el concepte de "pèrdua aversió", on les pèrdues potencials tenen un impacte emocional més gran que els guanys equivalents. Això s'aplica no només a les qüestions monetàries sinó també a les decisions socials i polítiques. Les persones acostumen a rebutjar nous candidats polítics simplement perquè prefereixen mantenir el líder actual, independentment del seu rendiment. També es pot veure en la nostàlgia cap al passat, on les persones idealitzen una època anterior i exclouen la necessitat de canvis progressius. En l'àmbit econòmic, el biaix fa que les persones mantinguin accions poc rendibles simplement perquè ja les posseeixen.

    Academy for social change presents
  • 00:00:02
    status quo bias ever heard the phrase if
  • 00:00:05
    it ain't broke don't fix it as you
  • 00:00:07
    probably well know that saying refers to
  • 00:00:09
    the idea that if things are fine the way
  • 00:00:11
    they currently are you're better off not
  • 00:00:12
    changing anything for example let's say
  • 00:00:15
    that there's an ongoing debate about how
  • 00:00:16
    a pest control company is planning to
  • 00:00:18
    release a potentially dangerous foreign
  • 00:00:20
    species into a mountain lake whose
  • 00:00:22
    ecosystem is perfectly balanced at the
  • 00:00:24
    present if you were a person living by
  • 00:00:27
    the code other than it ain't broke don't
  • 00:00:28
    fix it then you would object to the pest
  • 00:00:31
    control companies plan since the lake is
  • 00:00:33
    doing fine the way it is why disturb it
  • 00:00:34
    that line of reasoning probably sounds
  • 00:00:37
    quite logical to you now let's change
  • 00:00:39
    the scenario a bit
  • 00:00:40
    what if this mountain lake has been the
  • 00:00:41
    dumping site of toxic chemicals from
  • 00:00:43
    many manufacturing plants for years and
  • 00:00:45
    now a Wildlife Foundation is planning to
  • 00:00:48
    clean the toxins from the lake and make
  • 00:00:50
    it habitable once again for plants and
  • 00:00:51
    animals
  • 00:00:52
    strangely enough most people would also
  • 00:00:54
    object to the wildlife foundation still
  • 00:00:57
    thinking that the lake should be kept
  • 00:00:59
    just the way it is because of their
  • 00:01:02
    emotional biases people have a hard time
  • 00:01:04
    seeing objective flaws in the present in
  • 00:01:06
    other words people free really think
  • 00:01:08
    that the present ain't broke and thus
  • 00:01:10
    see no reason to change anything thus
  • 00:01:12
    our first instinct people aren't really
  • 00:01:14
    morally motivated when they object to
  • 00:01:16
    the introduction of dangerous species to
  • 00:01:18
    a pristine lake just like they are
  • 00:01:20
    maliciously motivated when they object
  • 00:01:22
    to the detoxification of a polluted lake
  • 00:01:24
    all they want is to keep things the way
  • 00:01:26
    they are it just so happens that in the
  • 00:01:28
    first case we fortunately started with
  • 00:01:30
    the pristine lake and are biased
  • 00:01:32
    instincts to keep things the same happen
  • 00:01:33
    to lead us to an eco-friendly decision
  • 00:01:35
    the status quo bias is an emotion based
  • 00:01:38
    bias that makes people feel that
  • 00:01:39
    perpetuating the present state of things
  • 00:01:41
    is preferable over any change even if
  • 00:01:44
    the change will be positive from an
  • 00:01:45
    objective perspective humans are
  • 00:01:47
    programmed to view any deviation from
  • 00:01:49
    the current reality as a negative loss
  • 00:01:51
    the status quo bias is closely related
  • 00:01:53
    to another psychological phenomena
  • 00:01:55
    known as loss aversion the negative
  • 00:01:58
    emotional impact that a loss averse
  • 00:02:00
    person experiences when losing a certain
  • 00:02:02
    amount of money will be far bigger than
  • 00:02:04
    the positive emotional impact experience
  • 00:02:06
    when gaining that's in a matter of money
  • 00:02:08
    in other words people are more strongly
  • 00:02:10
    affected by loss than they are by an
  • 00:02:12
    equal amount of gain when loss averse
  • 00:02:15
    people make choices they prefer inaction
  • 00:02:17
    over action because they'd rather make
  • 00:02:19
    no money than lose any money the status
  • 00:02:22
    quo bias is essentially a more general
  • 00:02:24
    version of the loss of version effect
  • 00:02:25
    that applies to people decision-making
  • 00:02:27
    in all situations not just money matters
  • 00:02:29
    status quo bias can be a dangerous trap
  • 00:02:32
    to fall into especially when it comes to
  • 00:02:34
    social political matters many people who
  • 00:02:36
    haven't earned their research on
  • 00:02:37
    political candidates or are only
  • 00:02:38
    half-heartedly following public debates
  • 00:02:40
    will be predisposed to dislike new
  • 00:02:43
    candidates and will vote for the
  • 00:02:44
    candidate who is currently in office and
  • 00:02:46
    running for re-election regardless of
  • 00:02:48
    how poorly that current leader has
  • 00:02:49
    performed the key takeaway from this do
  • 00:02:52
    your own research keep yourself
  • 00:02:54
    politically educated and form opinions
  • 00:02:56
    on politicians based upon facts instead
  • 00:02:58
    of just assuming that keeping things the
  • 00:03:00
    same is the safer choice compared to
  • 00:03:02
    change furthermore you probably have
  • 00:03:04
    known an older person at some point who
  • 00:03:06
    frequently complains about how about the
  • 00:03:07
    modern world just can't compare to the
  • 00:03:09
    good old days that nostalgic overly
  • 00:03:12
    idealistic view of the past has often
  • 00:03:14
    been used as an argument against
  • 00:03:16
    progressive movements when people assert
  • 00:03:18
    that the new generation is just too
  • 00:03:19
    sensitive and that everything was fine
  • 00:03:21
    back in the old days when there is no
  • 00:03:23
    concept of political correctness no
  • 00:03:25
    recognition of any sexual orientation
  • 00:03:26
    except heterosexuality and scarce
  • 00:03:29
    medical attention for mental illness
  • 00:03:30
    they imply that there's no need for the
  • 00:03:32
    corrections we've made to how we speak
  • 00:03:34
    and treat marginalized groups the status
  • 00:03:37
    quo bias can make people oblivious to
  • 00:03:39
    the flaws of the past as well as the
  • 00:03:40
    present and prevent them from
  • 00:03:41
    potentially improving society so it's
  • 00:03:44
    certainly true that not all change is
  • 00:03:46
    objectively good change it is equally
  • 00:03:48
    dangerous to believe that the way things
  • 00:03:49
    were is the way they should
  • 00:03:51
    always
  • 00:03:51
    lastly the status quo bias is also a
  • 00:03:54
    huge influence in economic
  • 00:03:55
    decision-making let's say that you
  • 00:03:57
    inherit a bunch of stocks and other
  • 00:03:59
    monetary assets from a distant relative
  • 00:04:01
    some of these stocks may be shares of
  • 00:04:03
    companies that are no longer doing so
  • 00:04:04
    well the rational thing to do would be
  • 00:04:06
    to sell those stocks that will probably
  • 00:04:08
    only drop in value in the future and buy
  • 00:04:10
    new stocks from a different company
  • 00:04:12
    however the status quo bias will likely
  • 00:04:14
    lead you to keep all those old stocks
  • 00:04:16
    even though you're probably going to
  • 00:04:17
    lose money with them now it's your time
  • 00:04:20
    to think further what is the most
  • 00:04:22
    dangerous consequence of the status quo
  • 00:04:24
    bias that you can think of
  • 00:04:25
