In general, you can use any partial information or asymmetric information game. I mean this in the 'game theory' sense -- but it applies to real games. In Poker, people base actions on false informatino or on what they believe to be true. The stock market is another example.

My son's dad's sister knows of a person who thinks he would have died in a car accident had he worn a seatbelt, so she totally ignores the research that says that the net effect of seatbelt usage is that more people would live and doesn't wear a seatbelt.

Debates about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Any case where it is going against one person that is different from the rest, as labels, sterotypes, and bias will come into play for sure.
