Do Anxious People Take Fewer Risks? A Meta‐Analysis of the Relationship Between Trait Anxiety and Dispositional Risk Taking
The present study was a meta‐analysis of previous studies on the correlation between trait anxiety and dispositional risk taking. Although it is often claimed that people who are generally anxious (i.e., higher in trait anxiety) have a strong tendency to avoid taking risks across a variety of situations (i.e., are lower in dispositional risk taking), the mean correlation across 80 effect sizes representing over 8000 unique participants was only −…
Spillover bias in social and nonsocial judgments of diversity and variability
The effect of target group size on risk judgments and comparative optimism
In 5 experiments, college students exhibited a group size effect on risk judgments. As the number of individuals in a target group increased, so did participants' judgments of the risk of the average member of the group for a variety of negative life events. This happened regardless of whether the stimuli consisted of photographs of real peers or stick-figure representations of peers. As a result, the degree to which participants exhibited compar…
Intuitive evaluation of likelihood judgment producers
This research tests the hypothesis of Yates et al. (1996) that people prefer judgment producers who make extreme confidence judgments. In each of three experiments, college students evaluated two fictional financial advisors who judged the likelihood that each of several stocks would increase in value. One of the advisors (the moderate advisor) was reasonably well calibrated and the other (the extreme advisor) was overconfident. In all three expe…
