Subjective Validation
 

Subjective Validation

Tendency to misread unfavourable or neutral evidence as giving positive support for one's beliefs. A process which occurs when two (or more) unrelated events are perceived to be related because a belief, expectancy, or hypothesis demands or requires a relationship.

 

See Carroll for an extended discussion of subjective validation.
