Penelope has always loved playing video games, and when she looks at this pro/con list, she immediately dismisses all of the points on the con side as invalid without really taking the time to read and consider them. her critical thinking is most likely affected by which barrier?

Confirmation bias

Explanation:

Confirmation Bias is nothing more than the tendency of some people to pay more attention to what they believe, which reaffirm their beliefs and opinions. Ignoring and devaluing any contrary opinion, even if it comes with a larger basis and with references or even data.

An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Penelope loves playing video games so much that she ignores all the negative points of this habit, because she just wants to believe the positives.
