A fresh study has confirmed that people are reluctant to change their minds and adapt their views, even when new information has been presented.

The research from the University of Iowa is based on previous studies indicating that people are particularly likely to stick to their original viewpoint when they’ve had to write their beliefs down– a phenomenon known as the ‘explanation effect’.

Also known as "Don't confuse me with any facts or conclusions by other involved parties, my mind is already made up"
