Answer 1

The choice of using Times New Roman for their app based on the experience of being required to use it in English class reflects affinity bias. This bias occurs when someone favors a particular thing, idea, or group because of familiarity or personal experience. In this case, the designer is drawn to a font that they are accustomed to rather than considering other options that might be more suitable for the app's design and functionality.
