What is the focusing effect bias?
The focusing effect bias, also known as the focusing illusion, refers to a cognitive bias that occurs when individuals place excessive importance on a single aspect of an event or situation while neglecting other relevant factors. It involves overestimating the influence or impact of one particular factor and underestimating the importance of other variables.
Give me an example scenario of the focusing effect bias
A consumer chooses a smartphone based solely on the camera quality, without considering other important features like battery life, durability, or software performance.
Give me a short user story based on the previous scenario.
As a passionate photography enthusiast, my smartphone plays a significant role in capturing and preserving life's precious moments. I yearn for a smartphone with an exceptional camera that can deliver high-quality images and videos. Thus, when I decide to upgrade my current device, camera quality is my primary focus.I start my search by exploring various smartphone models that boast advanced camera features and innovative photography technology. I want to find a phone that excels in low-light conditions, offers optical image stabilization, and provides manual controls for creative expression.Through research and reviews, I gather detailed information about each smartphone's camera capabilities. I'm thrilled to see some models featuring multiple lenses, AI-enhanced photography, and high-resolution sensors, which would significantly enhance my photography experience.However, I remind myself not to get lost in the allure of exceptional camera quality alone. To ensure a well-rounded choice, I broaden my perspective and consider other essential features such as battery life, durability, and software performance.A long-lasting battery is crucial, as it will enable me to capture photos and videos without worrying about frequent recharges during my photography outings. Additionally, I prioritize a durable and well-built device that can withstand my active lifestyle and occasional drops.Lastly, I acknowledge the significance of smooth performance and user-friendly software. A seamless operating system and a responsive interface will aid in quickly accessing the camera and editing tools, optimizing my photography workflow.As I compare various smartphone options side by side, I carefully weigh the trade-offs between camera quality and other features. Ultimately, I choose a smartphone that not only excels in camera performance but also aligns with my overall needs, striking the perfect balance between photographic prowess and everyday functionality. With my new smartphone, I'm now equipped to capture breathtaking images and tell visual stories like never before.

A Cognizer makes a Decision, which may be about an entity or a course of action. How (and whether) this frame is distinct from Choosing is currently up for debate. Mo decided to quit the program.
An Assessor examines a Phenomenon to figure out its Value according to some Feature of the Phenomenon. This Value is a factor in determining the acceptability of the Phenomenon. In some cases, a Method (implicitly involving an Assessor) is used to determine the Phenomenon's Value. Each company is then evaluated for their earning potential. CNI From the evidence of the pilot studies the risk of damage to the test subjects was rated too high to continue. CNI He weighed his options carefully.
An Item is located at the top end of a scale of importance or social rank (or some other Attribute) in comparison to other members of a Contrast_set (usually, implicit) that is otherwise similar in kind to the Item. Oftentimes, the limits of the Contrast_set are determined by an expression of the Limits_of_consideration. The main problem is that the administration has not yet clarified "Regime change."

This frame is about the static comparison of an Profiled_item to a Standard_item, often with respect to some Attribute. In this frame, there is an inherent asymmetry between Profiled_item and Standard_item in that the two cannot be expressed jointly as a subject. Degree expressions are also found that indicate how close the items are to each other on the scale evoked by the Attribute. Furthermore, the particular value of the standard or item on a certain scale may be given by the Standard_attribute of the Profiled_attribute respectively. The Sun is putting on a show that rivals the most sizzling Hollywood thrillers. Mexico's Copper Canyon rivals the Grand Canyon in sheer beauty and drama.

This frame concerns a Cognizer (a person or other intelligent being) paying close attention to something, the Ground, in order to discover and note its salient characteristics. The Cognizer may be interested in a particular characteristic or entity, the Phenomenon, that belongs to the Ground or is contained in the Ground (or to ensure that such a property of entity is not present). Some words in this frame allow alternate expressions of the Groundand the Phenomenon: We searched the yard for my contact lens.
