People who spend a lot of time in the sun or in tanning booths may know about the dangers of UV rays, but ignore them. Even if they start developing brown spots, a possible symptom of the early stages of skin cancer, they might tell themselves that they are more likely to freckle and will point to how good they feel as further evidence to support that they are not getting skin cancer. They would be using:
 
  a. selective bias c. self-fulfilling prophecy
  b. confirmation bias d. informational involvement

  a. self-fulfilling prophecy c. confirmation bias
  b. selective attention d. impression management
