The Consequences of Role‐conferred Bias and Base‐rate Neglect*
研究发现,未经训练的受试者做出的判断可能比接受过减少偏见和启发式训练的人产生更好的结果,提示教育者在应用偏见研究结论时应谨慎。
ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of training to reduce biases and heuristics on the consequence of judgments. We demonstrate that untrained subjects' judgments may systematically yield better consequences than judgments of subjects trained to reduce biases and heuristics. This result implies that educators should use caution when interpreting the findings of biases and heuristics research. In establishing the existence of situations in which biases and heuristics produce better consequences than an unbiased, or normative procedure, we open the larger question of the need for an elaboration of the prescriptive uses of the normative procedures.
