A favour . . .
Does anyone know if psychologists have a name to describe a condition or syndrome whereby person A is inclined to believe person B (even though person B spouts drivel) based on person B's professional qualifications, social status, supposed expert knowledge etc.(even though they may know very little)? The nearest I can get to it is confirmation bias - but I know that's not right. Any ideas?
