The method a historian would use when considering an author’s feelings or actions that favor one thing over another is referred to as bias. Bias involves assessing the author's perspective, potential prejudices, or inclinations that might influence their interpretation of events. Historians analyze sources for signs of bias to understand how it shapes the narrative and to evaluate the reliability and objectivity of the information presented.
