A false belief is an idea or conviction that is not true. It's a belief that does not align with reality or factual evidence. Think of it as an incorrect assumption or a mistaken understanding. False beliefs can range from minor inaccuracies to major delusions. False belief is often a subject in psychology. For example, thinking that vaccines cause autism is a false belief because it has been disproven by scientific research 🔬.
