We conducted pre-registered replications of 15 effects in the field of judgment and decision making (JDM). We aimed to test the generalizability of different classical and modern JDM effects, including, among others: less-is-better, anchoring, and framing to different languages, cultures, or current situations (COVID-19 pandemic). Replicated studie...

The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) is one of the most popular measures of individual differences in rational thought and decision making. To overcome the issue of overlap with numeracy, a novel measure of cognitive reflection less related to numeracy and math anxiety than Numerical CRT was developed—Verbal CRT. The present research had two main ai...

Changing a problem's representation is a crucial process when solving insight problems. Recently, Laukkonen and Tangen (2017) found that observing ambiguous figures such as a Necker Cube before solving problems can increase insight frequency. In our research, we extended their procedure by including measures of feelings of insight (e.g., confidence...

The goal of the present study was to compare the relative contribution of different cognitive abilities and preferences to superior decision making. Additionally, we aimed to test whether skilled decision makers have better and more sophisticated long-term memory representations of personally meaningful risky situations. A large sample from the gen...

Smog jest poważnym zagrożeniem, a jego skutki są odroczone w czasie. Trudność z wyobrażeniem sobie konsekwencji smogu oraz brak zrozumienia mechanizmu ich powstawania mogą dodatkowo sprzyjać zaniżonym ocenom ryzyka związanego ze smogiem. Badania z obszaru komunikacji ryzyka wskazują na to, że format przekazywania informacji o ryzyku może mieć znacz...

Celem przeprowadzonych badań było zweryfikowanie związków między cechami temperamentu, przekonaniami gracza dotyczącymi wygranej i angażowaniem się w gry hazardowe. Dotychczasowe badania wskazują na związek temperamentu z angażowaniem się w hazard. Dodatkowo badacze podkreślają, że zniekształcenia myśli związanych z grą łączą się z rozwojem patolog...
