Determinants of linear judgment: A meta-analysis of lens model studies

Karelaia, Natalia; Hogarth, Robin - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2007

The mathematical representation of Brunswik’s lens model has been used extensively to study human judgment and provides a unique opportunity to conduct a meta-analysis of studies that covers roughly five decades. Specifically, we analyze statistics of the “lens model equation” (Tucker,...

Deciding analytically or trusting your intuition? The advantadges and disadvantadges of analytic and intuitive thought

Hogarth, Robin - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2002

Recent research has highlighted the notion that people can make judgments and choices by means of two systems that are labeled here tacit (or intuitive) and deliberate (or analytic). Whereas most decisions typically involve both systems, this chapter examines the conditions under which each...

Ignoring information in binary choice with continuous variables: When is less 'more'?

Hogarth, Robin; Karelaia, Natalia - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2004

When can a single variable be more accurate in binary choice than multiple sources of information? We derive analytically the probability that a single variable (SV) will correctly predict one of two choices when both criterion and predictor are continuous variables. We further provide analogous...

Satisfaction in choice as a function of the number of alternatives: When "goods satiate" but "bads escalate"

Reutskaja, Elena; Hogarth, Robin - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2005

Whereas people are typically thought to be better off with more choices, studies show that they often prefer to choose from small as opposed to large sets of alternatives. We propose that satisfaction from choice is an inverted U-shaped function of the number of alternatives. This proposition is...

Regions of rationality: Maps for bounded agents

Hogarth, Robin; Karelaia, Natalia - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2005

An important problem in descriptive and prescriptive research in decision making is to identify “regions of rationality,” i.e., the areas for which heuristics are and are not effective. To map the contours of such regions, we derive probabilities that heuristics identify the best of m...

On heuristic and linear models of judgment: Mapping the demand for knowledge

Hogarth, Robin; Karelaia, Natalia - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2006

Research on judgment and decision making presents a confusing picture of human abilities. For example, much research has emphasized the dysfunctional aspects of judgmental heuristics, and yet, other findings suggest that these can be highly effective. A further line of research has modeled...

Is confidence in decisions related to feedback? Evidence-and lack of evidence-from random samples of real-world managerial behavior?

Hogarth, Robin - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2003

Confidence in decision making is an important dimension of managerial behavior. However, what is the relation between confidence, on the one hand, and the fact of receiving or expecting to receive feedback on decisions taken, on the other hand? To explore this and related issues in the context...
