In Canon law Catholic Church Canon law , confirmation of a bishop is the act by which the election of a new bishop receives the assent of the proper ecclesiastical authority. Early history In the early centuries of the history of the Christian Church Church the election or appointment of a suffragan bishop was confirmed and approved by the metropolitan bishop metropolitan and his suifragans assembled in synod . By the 4th canon of the First Council of Nicaea A.D. 325 , however, it was decreed that the right of confirmation should belong to the metropolitan bishop of each province, a rule confirmed by the 12th canon of the Council of Laodicaea.

A Safety confirmation system is a way of determining each day whether someone who lives alone is safe. All the person has to do is to press, before a time agreed with him or her, an I am okay button on a special landline or mobile phone handset that can also be used normally to make calls. The button press is transmitted to a monitoring centre and managed automatically. A follow up system is initiated if a user fails to confirm that they are okay. If the button is not pressed by the agreed time it can be taken as a passive request for contact.

No footnotes date February 2008 Confirmation holism , also called epistemological holism , is the claim that a single scientific theory cannot be tested in isolation a test of one theory always depends on other theories and hypotheses . For example, in the first half of the 19th century, astronomers were observing the path of the planet Uranus to see if it conformed to the path predicted by Newton s law of gravitation it didn t. There were an indeterminate number of possible explanations, such as that the telescopic observations were wrong because of some unknown factor or that Newton s laws were in error or that God moves different planets in different ways. However, it was eventually accepted that an unknown planet was affecting the path of Uranus, and that the hypothesis that there are seven planets in our solar system was false. Le Verrier calculated the approximate position of the interfering planet and its existence was confirmed in 1846. We now call the planet Neptune . There are two aspects of confirmation holism. The first is that interpretation of observation is dependent on theory sometimes called theory laden . Before accepting the telescopic observations one must look into the optics of the telescope, the way the mount is constructed in order to ensure that the telescope is pointing in the right direction, and that light travels through space in a straight line which Einstein demonstrated is not generally true, but is often an adequate approximation . The second is that evidence alone is insufficient to determine which theory is correct. Each of the alternatives above might have been correct, but only one was in the end accepted. That theories can only be tested as they relate to other theories implies that one can always claim that test results that seem to refute a favoured scientific theory have not refuted that theory at all. Rather, one can claim that the test results conflict with predictions because some other theory is false or unrecognised this is Einstein ... more details

Over time, reporting bias can lead to a status quo where multiple investigators discover and discard the same results, and later experimenters justify their own reporting bias by observing that previous experimenters reported different results.

Refimprove date July 2008 Cultural bias is the phenomenon of interpreting and judging phenomena by standards inherent to one s own culture. The phenomenon is sometimes considered a problem central to social and human sciences, such as economics , psychology , anthropology , and sociology . Some practitioners of the aforementioned fields have attempted to develop methods and theories to compensate for or a culture make assumptions about conventions, including conventions of language, notation, proof and evidence. They are then accused of mistaking these assumptions for laws of logic or nature. Numerous such biases exist, concerning cultural norms for color, location of body parts, mate selection, concepts of justice, linguistics linguistic and logical validity, acceptability of evidence, and taboos.

Congruence bias is a type of cognitive bias similar to confirmationbias . Congruence bias occurs due to people s overreliance on direct testing of a given hypothesis , and a neglect of indirect testing. Examples Suppose that in an experiment , a subject is presented with two buttons, and is told that pressing one of those buttons, but not the other, will open a door. The subject adopts the hypothesis that the button on the left opens the door in question. A direct test of this hypothesis would be pressing the button on the left an indirect test would be pressing the button on the right. The latter is still a valid test because once the result of the door s remaining closed is found, the left button is proven to be the desired button. This example is parallel to Bruner, Goodnow, and Austin s example in the psychology classic A Study of Thinking . We can take this idea of direct and indirect testing and apply it to more complicated experiments in order to explain the presence of a congruence bias in people. In an experiment, a subject will test his own usually naive hypothesis again and again instead of trying to disprove it. The classic example of subjects congruence bias is found in Wason 1960, 1968b . Here, the experimenter gave subjects the number sequence 2, 4, 6, telling the subjects that this sequence followed a particular rule and instructing subjects to find the rule underlying the sequence logic. Subjects provided their own number sequences as tests to see if they could ascertain the rule dictating which numbers could be included in the sequence and which could not. Most subjects respond to the task by quickly deciding that the underlying rule is numbers ascending by 2, and provide as tests only sequences concordant with this rule, such as 3, 5, 7, or even pi plus ... is the root of the congruence bias. Jonathan Baron explains that subjects could be said to be using ... hypotheses. To avoid falling into the trap of the congruence bias, Baron suggests that the following ... more details
