C/DBT is very good for that sort of thing. I am actually pretty curious what the Jungian interpretation of this would be. Probably something along the lines of The Greater Personality. But that is some pretty heavy shit that I don't know a whole lot about.
I've been reading a lot of psychology and sociology in the last little while, currently going through a book that compares transactional analysis with traditional psychoanalysis, and reading about techniques like Focusing, so this kind of thing has been on my mind a lot lately.
In the case of Jung, I'd surmise that a bias would most likely be a Shadow function because of its unconscious nature.
Regardless of what's going on "under the hood," I think that biases would relate to a perceived benefit or threat -- not necessarily a real or even realistic one, but something that triggers either fear or desire.
(Disclaimer: I took one "Intro to Psychology" course in college over 40 years ago and am not a professional psychologist -- but the subject fascinates the heck out of me nonetheless.)
