Omission bias is the tendency to favor an act of omission (inaction) over one of commission (action).[1][2] It can occur due to a number of processes, including psychological inertia,[3] the perception of transaction costs, and a tendency to judge harmful actions as worse, or less moral, than equally harmful omissions (inactions). The bias is often showcased through the trolley problem and has also been described as an explanation for the endowment effect and status quo bias.
