Sample size bias in judgments of perceptual averages.
Previous research has shown that people exhibit a sample size bias when judging the average of a set of stimuli on a single dimension. The more stimuli there are in the set, the greater people judge the average to be. This effect has been demonstrated reliably for judgments of the average likelihood that groups of people will experience negative, positive, and neutral events (Price, 2001; Price...
متن کاملDifferently confident: Susceptibility to bias in perceptual judgments of size interacts with working memory capacity.
Much prior research has shown that retrieval of information from long-term memory (LTM) can influence many aspects of complex cognition in situ. However, research also has shown that not all individuals manage information retrieved from LTM in equivalent fashions. Specifically, high working memory capacity (WMC) individuals have been shown to be better able to manage not only what information i...
متن کاملBias in Molecular Dynamics Averages due to Finite Step Size
Stephen D. Bond and Robert D. Skeel Even if our model for the molecular system is exact, computational resources limit the simulation length, which introduces statistical error when computing ensemble averages. Additionally, molecular dynamics, unlike Monte Carlo, simulations give biased results due to the use of numerical integrators. This applies whether the dynamics is deterministic or stoch...
متن کاملRacial Bias in Judgments of Physical Size and Formidability
Black men tend to be stereotyped as threatening and, as a result, may be disproportionately targeted by police even when unarmed. Here, we found evidence that biased perceptions of young Black men’s physical size may play a role in this process. The results of 7 studies showed that people have a bias to perceive young Black men as bigger (taller, heavier, more muscular) and more physically thre...
متن کاملRacial bias in judgments of physical size and formidability: From size to threat.
Black men tend to be stereotyped as threatening and, as a result, may be disproportionately targeted by police even when unarmed. Here, we found evidence that biased perceptions of young Black men's physical size may play a role in this process. The results of 7 studies showed that people have a bias to perceive young Black men as bigger (taller, heavier, more muscular) and more physically thre...
