Motivated Errors
通过三组涉及数千名受试者的实验，研究人们在简单和复杂环境中利用混淆或犯错可能性来合理化自身行为的动机性错误，包括相关性忽视和锚定偏差。
Myriad environments allow for the possibility of confusion. Agents may appeal to such confusion—or the possibility of making an honest mistake—to justify their behavior. In three sets of experiments involving thousands of subjects, we document evidence of such motivated errors. We document this evidence in a simple environment in which the scope for errors is small and in more complex environments in which subjects display correlation neglect and an anchoring bias.
