Influences on the appropriateness of confidence in judgment: Practice, effort, information, and decision-making

Paul W. Paese; Janet A. Sniezek

Abstract Two experiments were conducted to examine several potential influences on the appropriateness of confidence in judgment. Specifically, confidence in judgment was expected to increase with practice, effort, decision-making, and the availability of relevant information. Accuracy in judgment was not expected to increase as much as confidence. College men (n = 287) used various measures of baseball performance to predict the overall performance of professional baseball players. Feedback on judgments was not provided. The judgment task was designed to simulate activities commonly performed by practitioners in applicant selection settings. These activities included assessing ability, predicting performance, and selecting/rejecting applicants. Consistent with predictions, results showed that confidence in judgment increased with both practice and effort, whereas accuracy sometimes increased and under other conditions remained the same. Changes over trials in the amount of information for making judgments influenced the relation between confidence and practice. Contrary to expectations, confidence in judgment was lowest when decisions based on judgment had already been made. Implications for judgment and decision-making in applied settings are discussed.

Problem Domain and Prospect Frame: Choice under Opportunity versus Threat

Scott Highhouse; Paul W. Paese

This investigation considered the impact of alternative problem domains on choice by crossing prospect frame (loss vs. gain) witth problem domain (threat vs. opportunity) in afactorial design. In responding to traditional framing problems, proble-msposing explicit threats), subjects faced with gain prospects have generally been thought to presuppose losses or shift their reference point downward. Abelson and Levi have suggested that, similarly, subjects might be expected to presuppose gains or shift their reference point upward when faced with problems that pose explicit opportunities. Choices in this study were consistent with this prediction. However, measures aimed at assessing the interpretations of framing problems did not support the presumed shifts in reference point. Moreover, evidence was found for a problem domain effect on overall risk seeking in one problem arena (obs), but no such effect was found in another problem arena (money).

Authentic religious experience or insanity

Susan Sanderson; Brian Vandenberg; Paul W. Paese

This study examined how mental health professionals make judgments about the religious authenticity and mental health of behaviors motivated by religious ideation. Participants were presented with written vignettes of religiously motivated behavior. The context of religious behavior varied on 6 dimensions and also on 3 levels of conventionality. The results indicated that the determining factor in the ratings was not dimensions of religious experience, but the degree that the experience deviated from conventional religious beliefs and practices. The more unconventional the behavior, the less religiously authentic and mentally healthy it was deemed to be.

When an Adversary is Caught Telling the Truth: Reciprocal Cooperation Versus Self-Interest in Distributive Bargaining:

Paul W. Paese; Debra Gilin

In the present research, the authors examined a distributive bargaining situation in which the participant’s counterpart either did or did not make an unambiguously cooperative move at the outset of the negotiation. Participants’ bargaining roles were written such that they had a clear alternative of their own as well as accurate inside information about the other party’s no-agreement alternative. A confederate posing as a participant assumed the opposite role and followed a script. The script was varied such that the confederate either did or did not disclose his or her alternative at the outset of the negotiation. Results indicated that even though cooperation ran counter to their self-interest, participants were more cooperative in the disclosure conditions. That is, they made less demanding offers, disclosed more truthful information, and settled for less profit. Implications of these results and future research directions are discussed.

An Empirical Comparison of Several Commonly Used Measures of Valence

Mark E. Tubbs; Donna M. Boehne; Paul W. Paese

ABSTRACT The construct validity of valence measures based on anticipated satisfaction, attractiveness, and importance was examined in three studies. Results indicated that only the satisfaction measure consistently fit the validity criteria. The importance and, to a lesser extent, the attractiveness measures appear to be less appropriate as assessments of valence, perhaps due to the influence of expectancy on those judgments.

Uncertainty Assessment Accuracy and Resource Allocation Outcomes: An Empirical Test of a Presumed Relation

Paul W. Paese

Abstract I conducted a correlational study to test the hypothesis that resource allocation outcomes become more favorable as uncertainty assessment accuracy (i.e., resolution and calibration) increases. For each of 32 college basketball games, participants predicted which team would win, estimated the subjective probability that their prediction was correct, and were given the opportunity to place a wager. The dependent variable was profit earned over the 32 bets. Proportion correct and mean certainty were controlled in the analyses. Results indicated that individuals with higher resolution scores earned significantly more profit than those with lower scores. Higher profits were also associated with better calibration.
