Proportionality Bias

People tend to believe that big events must have big causes. For example, in a study, when participants were told about a plane crash, they were more likely to think it was a terrorist attack if all the passengers had died, rather than some of them surviving. Similarly, when we want to roll a high number while playing a game with dice, we might shake the dice harder before rolling, hoping it will increase our chances of getting a higher number.

starting from basic terms such as “social media,” “website,” or “advertisement" to the advanced terms
that new and experienced marketers alike may have overlooked or be fuzzy on.
