The Dangers of Overcredulity: Understanding the Psychological Phenomenon

Overcredulity is a psychological phenomenon where an individual believes something to be true without sufficient evidence or proof. It is the tendency to accept information without critically evaluating its validity or accuracy. Overcredulity can lead to false beliefs and misinformation, as individuals may be more likely to accept information that confirms their preexisting beliefs or expectations, rather than seeking out contradictory evidence.
