Overcoming ideology-consistent biases: does it help to make things easier? Open
In 2 experiments, we attempted to reduce belief-consistent biases in interpretations of a polarized problem by making information easier to interpret. In the experiments, participants solved numerical problems that were either framed in a …

Which electric vehicle charging station to upgrade? Biased judgments based on differences in station efficiency Open
One way of controlling global warming is to substitute fuel driven cars with electric cars. Electric vehicles need to be charged. For maximal efficiency the charging times should be as short as possible. In the US charging stations are cla…

A note on judgments and behavior: Distancing and Corona virus exposure Open
In a questionnaire, participants judged the increase in SARS-CoV-2 virus exposure when moving closer to an infected person. Earlier studies have shown that the actual increase in virus exposure is underestimated and the present study repli…

Self-selected interval judgments compared to point judgments: A weight judgment experiment in the presence of the size-weight illusion Open
Measurements of human attitudes and perceptions have traditionally used numerical point judgments. In the present study, we compared conventional point estimates of weight with an interval judgment method. Participants were allowed to make…

People underestimate the change of airborne Corona virus exposure when changing distance to an infected person: On interpersonal distance, exposure time, face masks and perceived virus exposure Open
Participants judged airborne Corona virus exposure following a change of inter-personal distance and time of a conversation with an infected person with and without a face mask. About 75% of the participants underestimated how much virus e…

Without a mask: Judgments of Corona virus exposure as a function of inter personal distance Open
In order to minimize the risk of infection during the Covid-19 pandemic, people are recommended to keep interpersonal distance (e.g., 1 m, 2 m, 6 feet), wash their hands frequently, limit social contacts and sometimes to wear a face mask. …

On the human inability to process inverse variables in intuitive judgments: different cognitive processes leading to the time loss bias Open
The time loss bias describes overestimation of time lost after speed decreases from high speeds and underestimations after decreases from low driving speeds. Participants judged the speed decrease from one speed (e.g. 130 km/h) that would …

Different heuristics and same bias: A spectral analysis of biased judgments and individual decision rules Open
We used correlation and spectral analyses to investigate the cognitive structures and processes producing biased judgments. We used 5 different sets of driving problems to exemplify problems that trigger biases, specifically: (1) underesti…
