closed-mindedly
In stubborn fashion
In a manner unwilling to consider new ideas or perspectives.
Someone who acts closed-mindedly refuses to entertain viewpoints that challenge their existing beliefs: She closed-mindedly dismissed every suggestion without hearing the details.
The word is awkward and rarely appears in edited prose; writers typically restructure to avoid it.
