Status quo bias (SQB) is a non-rational or biased preference for the current way of doing things (Samuelson and Zeckhauser1988). Like other simplified decision procedures, it can help to save time and be more efficient. Samuelson and Zeckhauser used the example of a colleague who always ord...
Also, these perceptions and misperceptions of bias can create a confrontational atmosphere that increasingly surrounds some high stakes disqualification disputes. Thus, understanding our Bias Blind Spot can help reshape the disqualification debate--both with regard to making disqualification decisions in ...
(Sabatier et al.,1987) credit these biases with the misperception of our opponents strength. They argue that we are more likely to remember failures than correctly assess our opponents’ weaknesses. This devil shift argument is then further developed to explain why individuals maintain collaborations...
Because you just said in the middle, and I totally get what you’re saying, but I want to correct. Like, I think part of the misperception is that sometimes being between two poles makes you in the middle, Right?Jonathan Fields: That wasn’t my intention,...
The MB-BC estimator then subtracts the bias from the MB estimator to correct the bias. The treatment effects estimated by the MB-BC method strongly support the benchmark results; however, they are much larger than the benchmark results, thus suggesting negative selection on unobservables. To ...
Cultural evolution research is the study of how cultural traits (e.g., beliefs and behavioral patterns) stabilize, change and diffuse in populations, and why some cultural traits are more “attractive” (i.e., more likely to spread) than others. As such,
