How personal experiences shaped risk judgments during Covid-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, people had two important but imperfect teachers of risk. First, they learned about incidence, mortality rates, and reproduction numbers from reports and graphs. Second, they learned about the risk of infection through their own experience and the experience of others. Personal experience has been found to serve as an input for risk judgments in numerous contexts, including climate change. Here we examine how it shape…
Investigations of decision processes at the intersection of psychology and economics
In recent years, there has been growing interest in capturing, manipulating, and analyzing the effects of decision-making processes that underlie economic choice. This editorial discusses these recent developments by contextualizing the six contributions to the special issue “Cognition and Economic Behavior” within the broader scope of the existing literature
The attention–aversion gap: How allocation of attention relates to loss aversion
Forward inference in risky choice: Mapping gaze and decision processes
The study of cognitive processes is built on a close mapping between three components: overt gaze behavior, overt choice, and covert processes. To validate this overt–covert mapping in the domain of decision‐making, we collected eye‐movement data during decisions between risky gamble problems. Applying a forward inference paradigm, participants were instructed to use specific decision strategies to solve those gamble problems (maximizing expected…
Inducing Thought Processes: Bringing Process Measures and Cognitive Processes Closer Together
The challenge in inferring cognitive processes from observational data is to correctly align overt behavior with its covert cognitive process. To improve our understanding of this overt–covert mapping in the domain of decision making, we collected eye‐movement data during decisions between gamble‐problems. Participants were either free to choose or instructed to use a specific choice strategy (maximizing expected value or a choice heuristic). We …
The (In)visibility of Psychodiagnosticians' Expertise
This study investigates decision making in mental health care. Specifically, it compares the diagnostic decision outcomes (i.e., the quality of diagnoses) and the diagnostic decision process (i.e., pre‐decisional information acquisition patterns) of novice and experienced clinical psychologists. Participants' eye movements were recorded while they completed diagnostic tasks, classifying mental disorders. In line with previous research, our findin…
Out of sight – out of mind? Information acquisition patterns in risky choice framing
We investigate whether risky choice framing, i.e., the preference of a sure over an equivalent risky option when choosing among gains, and the reverse when choosing among losses, depends on redundancy and density of information available in a task. Redundancy, the saliency of missing information, and density, the description of options in one or multiple chunks, was manipulated in a matrix setup presented in MouselabWeb. On the choice level we fo…
The Effects of Framing, Reflection, Probability, and Payoff on Risk Preference in Choice Tasks
