People often resist changing their beliefs due to cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias, which leads them to favor information that supports their existing views while dismissing evidence to the contrary. Additionally, beliefs can be deeply intertwined with personal identity and social connections, making change feel threatening or isolating. Emotional investments, such as fear or attachment, can further entrench these beliefs, even in the face of compelling evidence. Ultimately, the desire for consistency and belonging can override the rational assessment of facts.

What are psychological barriers?
One meaning of the term psychological barriers is the self limiting beliefs a person may have which in turn affects their behaviour - that is ....what they do or don't do as a result of having a self limiting belief. For example, an person might have a belief that they can't ride a bicycle and carry this belief with them through their life, and as such they would never attempt to ride a bicycle. This belief will usually have been developed as a result of their past experience - they may have tried to ride a bicycle as a young child, perhaps they started to ride but fell off - hurting themselves in the process. If they tried to ride again shortly after the first accident, and subsequently fell off again, hurting themselves, they would perhaps begin to believe that they can't ride a bicycle. And they will hold this belief or psychological barrier until they receive sufficiently strong evidence to change this belief. There is no reason, for example, why a fit and able bodied adult cannot learn to ride a bike in adulthood. But if that person has a psychological barrier which tells them that they can't do this - then they probably never will. In my field of being a career coach I often see people who have psychological barriers which prevent them from starting a job search to change a job or career that they hate. They don't take action for change because they have a usually incorrect belief that they aren't good enough, don't have enough or the right type of experience, don't have the confidence etc. If you are a healthy and otherwise reasonably well adjusted adult you will have the capacity to challenge and overcome your psychological barriers.
Do personalities change?
Personalities do change over time. Sometimes people change as they get older, or sometimes a big experience happens that completely changes how they think and act.If a friend or family member are acting differently, the best thing to do is talk to them. If they are offended by this then explain how they have been acting differently has confused you, and that it's just a bit weird.Or sometimes people try to change how they are jelous of how someone else is, and aspire to be them.But what you need to remember is this: You are who you are. Others may change over time but try as hard as you can to stay the same yourself. It's the best thing for you. :)(Hope this helped)

Biologists base their belief in the theory of evolution on a wide range of scientific evidence, including fossil records, anatomical similarities among different species, genetic studies, and observations of natural selection in action. These pieces of evidence provide a comprehensive understanding of how species change over time and how different organisms are related through common ancestry.

Scientific beliefs are theories and hypothesizes based on the accumulation of evidence. beliefs that arn't based on evidence should not be believed at all.
