Psychological biases in Spanish

Hi,

I need to translate bias in the sense that psychologists use. For example, the confirmation bias is that people tend to looking for information that confirms their hypotheses and ignore information that disconfirms it.

How would I say bias in this sense in Spanish?

Thanks in advance!
