negatively biased?

Dear all,

I wonder if 'negatively biased' in the following sentence could mean 'bringing up negative associations':

John is guilty is understood through a cognitive schema referring to the negatively biased core supposition, 'guilt'.

Many thanks.

I'd say: John is guilty is understood through a cognitive schema referring to the core negative association of 'guilt'. John is guilty is understood through a cognitive schema based on the negative association of 'guilt'.
