partialities
Leanings toward favorites
Partialities are biases or unfair preferences toward particular people or things.
The word often implies favoritism that compromises fairness: The judge was accused of partialities toward wealthy defendants.
It can also simply mean strong likings: She had her partialities—chocolate, old movies, rainy afternoons.
