~~~ Anecdotal evidence ~~~ • Title: What is Anecdotal evidence?, Explain Anecdotal evidence, Define Anecdotal evidence • Created on: 2018-10-18 • Source Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdot... • ------ • Description: Anecdotal evidence is evidence from anecdotes, i.e., evidence collected in a casual or informal manner and relying heavily or entirely on personal testimony. When compared to other types of evidence, anecdotal evidence is generally regarded as limited in value due to a number of potential weaknesses, but may be considered within the scope of scientific method as some anecdotal evidence can be both empirical and verifiable, e.g. in the use of case studies in medicine. Other anecdotal evidence, however, does not qualify as scientific evidence, because its nature prevents it from being investigated by the scientific method. Where only one or a few anecdotes are presented, there is a larger chance that they may be unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases. Similarly, psychologists have found that due to cognitive bias people are more likely to remember notable or unusual examples rather than typical examples. Thus, even when accurate, anecdotal evidence is not necessarily representative of a typical experience. Accurate determination of whether an anecdote is typical requires statistical evidence. Misuse of anecdotal evidence is an informal fallacy and is sometimes referred to as the person who fallacy which places undue weight on experiences of close peers which may not be typical. Compare with hasty generalization. The term is sometimes used in a legal context to describe certain kinds of testimony which are uncorroborated by objective, independent evidence such as notarized documentation, photographs, audio-visual recordings, etc. When used in advertising or promotion of a product, service, or idea, anecdotal reports are often called a testimonial, which are highly regulated or banned in some jurisdictions. • ------ • To see your favorite topic here, fill out this request form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA... • ------ • Source: Wikipedia.org articles, adapted under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... license. • Support: Donations can be made from https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/... to support Wikimedia Foundation and knowledge sharing.
