Introduction: Are We Fooling Ourselves? Introduction 9 Overview What is this unit about? In this unit, students read two texts: an excerpt from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman1 and “The Backfire Effect” by David McRaney2. Both Kahneman and McRaney explore the concept of rationality and the ways in which our cognitive functioning can impair our ability to reason. The first text is comprised of sections from two chapters of Thinking, Fast and Slow. In this text Kahneman—a psychologist, researcher, and Nobel prize winner—explores the two thinking systems used by our brains and delves into one cognitive fallacy: the illusion of validity. The second text, a blog post by David McRaney, who is a journalist and self- described psychology nerd, examines another kind of cognitive bias: the backfire effect. Framed by Aristotle’s assertion that “man is the rational animal,” this unit asks students to study these texts for what they reveal about our capacity to be rational beings. Additionally, students view these texts from a writer’s perspective to analyze the ways these writers work with language and construct their texts for their audiences. Students also explore additional biases through independent research. The concluding unit task asks students to conduct their own “sidewalk neuroscience” to collect observations about their own or other’s reasoning to confirm, challenge, or extend what Kahneman and McRaney offer about rationality. What content and concepts will students learn? Students will learn about: • what it means to be rational. • the science supporting different perspectives on how humans think. • the impact of the cognitive biases on our thinking. • how these writers use language and construct their texts for their purposes and audiences. What practices will students use? Students are supported to develop practices and habits such as how to: • comprehend, analyze, and interpret complex informational texts with assistance and independently. • read, reread, annotate, and take notes on sections of texts and texts in their entirety as a means to enhance comprehension. • examine writing at both global and local levels to analyze how these writers use language to meet their purposes for their audience. • participate in routines such as maintaining a Reader/Writer Notebook, completing quick writes, sharing in pairs/trios, and participating in whole group discussions. How long will it take to engage students in the unit? This unit spans approximately 12-15 instructional days, assuming a 45- to 60-minute class session. The tasks in the unit are designed to be implemented sequentially in order to support students to achieve the instructional goals. As such, the pacing of the lessons will depend on the time students need to achieve these goals. 1 Kahneman, D. (2011). Thinking, fast and slow. (pp. 19-26, 209-212).

In the research reported here, we asked subjects to bid on different foods while exogenously varying their hunger levels at the time of decision and at the time of consumption. This procedure allowed us to test whether cold-to-hot and hot-to-cold gaps are symmetric in size and driven by similar mechanisms.

  • A User's Guide to Debiasing
    A USER’S GUIDE TO DEBIASING Jack B. Soll Fuqua School of Business Duke University Katherine L. Milkman The Wharton School The University of Pennsylvania John W. Payne Fuqua School of Business Duke University Forthcoming in Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Judgment and Decision Making Gideon Keren and George Wu (Editors) Improving the human capacity to decide represents one of the great global challenges for the future, along with addressing problems such as climate change, the lack of clean water, and conflict between nations. So says the Millenium Project (Glenn, Gordon, & Florescu, 2012), a joint effort initiated by several esteemed organizations including the United Nations and the Smithsonian Institution. Of course, decision making is not a new challenge—people have been making decisions since, well, the beginning of the species. Why focus greater attention on decision making now? Among other factors such as increased interdependency, the Millenium Project emphasizes the proliferation of choices available to people. Many decisions, ranging from personal finance to health care to starting a business, are more complex than they used to be. Along with more choices comes greater uncertainty and greater demand on cognitive resources. The cost of being ill-equipped to choose, as an individual, is greater now than ever. What can be done to improve the capacity to decide? We believe that judgment and decision making researchers have produced many insights that can help answer this question. Decades of research in our field have yielded an array of debiasing strategies that can improve judgments and decisions across a wide range of settings in fields such as business, medicine, and policy.

  • How Well Do We Know Each Other?
    How well do we know each other? An experimental study about the effect of feedback on perspective-taking Giordano Tuvo u679980 – 2021705 Master’s Thesis Communication and Information Sciences Specialisation: Business Communication & Digital Media School of Humanities and Digital Sciences Tilburg University, Tilburg Supervisor: D.J. Damen MA Second Reader: Dr. P.J. van der Wijst July 2019 THE INFLUENCE OF FEEDBACK ON PERSPECTIVE-TAKING 1 Abstract Previous research showed that individuals often fail to correctly take other people's perspective. This mistake is argued to result from a cognitive biased known as empathy gap. When individuals fall prey of the empathy gap, they find it difficult to understand what a person in a different emotional state is feeling. People encounter this difficulty because they overestimate the similarities between their own perspective and the one of the other person. In other words, they project their own perspective onto the other's perspective. Consequently, they generate inaccurate perspective-taking judgments. The focus of the present research was to investigate whether receiving information about the other's perspective could influence the correctness of perspective takers judgments. An experiment was conducted in which participants were asked to react to 30 fictitious money distributions. Participants were informed that the sums were divided between them and another person. Individuals who took part in the study were divided into three groups: one group was given explicit perspective-taking instructions, one group received feedback about the other's perspective and one group did not receive perspective-taking instructions nor feedback (control group). It was hypothesised that participants who received feedback about the other person's emotions would make more accurate perspective-taking judgments than participants in the other two conditions.

Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center (L.P.), Washington, District of Columbia, USA Abstract Context. Being diagnosed with cancer often forces patients and families to make difficult medical decisions. How patients think they and others will feel in the future, termed affective predictions, may influence these decisions. These affective predictions are often biased, which may contribute to suboptimal care outcomes by influencing decisions related to palliative care and advance care planning. Objectives. This study aimed to translate perspectives from the decision sciences to inform future research about when and how affective predictions may influence decisions about palliative care and advance care planning. Methods. A systematic search of two databases to evaluate the extent to which affective predictions have been examined in the palliative care and advance care planning context yielded 35 relevant articles.

  • On Reducing an Empathy Gap: the Impact of Selfconstrual and Order Of
    553 The British Psychological British Journal of Social Psychology (2011), 50, 553–562 Society C 2011 The British Psychological Society www.wileyonlinelibrary.com Brief report On reducing an empathy gap: The impact of self-construal and order of judgment ∗ Karl-Andrew Woltin1,2 , Vincent Y. Yzerbyt1 and Olivier Corneille1 1Universite´ catholique de Louvain, Belgium 2Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique, Belgium Empathy gaps, in which individuals exaggerate self–other similarities or differences, generate errors in social judgments. We investigated whether changing individuals’ self- construal may reduce one specific empathy gap: the illusion of courage. Participants primed with independent or interdependent self-construal made judgments about their own and other people’s willingness to dance in public. Participants in the interdependence condition showed a reduction of the empathy gap, but only when judging the other first. This finding highlights that simple contextual manipulations have the potential to reduce egocentric biases in social judgments. People often face the challenge of predicting and understanding the psychological states of others. When mastered, this ability brings about social and material benefits and eases interpersonal functioning (Ickes & Simpson, 1997). For example, adequately estimating to what extent a colleague will feel anxious about performing in front of others is relevant when deciding whether to sign up for a team stage performance. Just how well do people engage in this task? Overall, research suggests that they perform rather poorly due to egocentric biases. That social judgments are egocentrically biased has long been recognized in social psychology (e.g., Katz & Allport, 1931; Krueger, 1998). When inferring others’ mental states, people first recruit their own states and then adjust from there (Epley, Keysar, Van Boven, & Gilovich, 2004).

  • Linking Design Thinking with Innovation Outcomes Through Cognitive Bias Reduction Jeanne Liedtka
    J PROD INNOV MANAG 2015;32(6):925–938 © 2014 Product Development & Management Association DOI: 10.1111/jpim.12163 Perspective: Linking Design Thinking with Innovation Outcomes through Cognitive Bias Reduction Jeanne Liedtka “Design thinking” has generated significant attention in the business press and has been heralded as a novel problem-solving methodology well suited to the often-cited challenges business organizations face in encouraging innovation and growth. Yet the specific mechanisms through which the use of design, approached as a thought process, might improve innovation outcomes have not received significant attention from business scholars. In particular, its utility has only rarely been linked to the academic literature on individual cognition and decision-making. This perspective piece advocates addressing this omission by examining “design thinking” as a practice potentially valuable for improving innovation outcomes by helping decision-makers reduce their individual level cognitive biases. In this essay, I first review the assumptions, principles, and key process tools associated with design thinking. I then establish its foundation in the decision-making literature, drawing on an extensive body of research on cognitive biases and their impact. The essay concludes by advancing a set of propositions and research implications, aiming to demonstrate one particular path that future research might take in assessing the utility of design thinking as a method for improving organizational outcomes related to innovation. In doing so, it seeks to address the challenge of conducting academic research on a practice that is obviously popular in management circles but appears resistant to rigorous empirical inquiry because of the multifaceted nature of its “basket” of tools and processes and the complexity of measuring the outcomes it produces.

  • Egocentric Empathy Gaps Between Owners and Buyers: Misperceptions of the Endowment Effect

In the 1st 2 studies, the authors documented egocentric empathy gaps between owners and buyers regarding the endowment effect: Both owners and buyers overestimated the similarity between their own valuation of a commodity and the valuation of people in the other role. The next 2 studies showed that these empathy gaps may lead to reduced earnings in a market setting. The final study showed that egocentric empathy gaps stem partly from people's misprediction of what their own valuation would be if they were in the other role. A formula that will work wonders for you [is to] try honestly to see Thompson & Hastie, 1990).
