Forming beliefs is thus one of the most basic and important features of the mind, and the concept of belief plays a crucial role in both philosophy of mind and epistemology. The “mind-body problem”, for example, so central to philosophy of mind, is in part the question of whether and how a purely physical organism can have beliefs.
Psychologists tend to examine core beliefs because they understand that our core beliefs will often drive our behavior, thoughts, and emotions. For example, in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a therapist will help work with a patient on their core beliefs.
In cognitive science, beliefs are propositional attitudes, where the world is depicted as being in some state or another (Schwitzgebel, 2021). Beliefs have two main properties: some representational content and assumed veracity (Stephens and Graham, 2004).

Core Beliefs: These are fundamental beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us. They often emerge early in life and can shape the way we interpret experiences. Examples include beliefs like “I am worthy,” “People are generally good,” or “The world is a dangerous place.”
Beliefs have been distinguished according to their degree of certainty: a surmise or suspicion, an opinion, or a conviction. Belief becomes knowledge only when the truth of a proposition becomes evident to the believer.
