Subjects' preferences among a set of six multi-outcome lotteries were measured under three conditions. In the neutral condition, no payoffs were applied. In the low aspiration condition, all subjects who 'won' an average of $80 or more on a set of three of their perferred lotteries won $2. In the high aspiration ,the two subjects 'winning' the largeest amounts on a set of three of their perferred lotteries won prizes of $15 and $5. Of 89 Ss, slightly more than half were highly responsive to the...

A procedural theory of judgment is described in which judgment is viewed as a serial 'anchoring and adjustment' process. The process is described as comprising scanning, anchoring, and adjusting operations, the latter of which is applied iteratively (with order of adjustment steps usually determined by relative importance) until the judge deems that sufficient information has been integrated and outputs a final response. The paper has three major sections. First, the procedural theory is...

Classical theories of risky decision making assume that people are risk averse. This means, in part, that people tend to reject gambles or lotteries in favor of actuarially equivalent sure things. According to prospect theory (Kahneman and Tversky, 1979), however, risk aversion applies primarily to lotteries involving gains. In the domain of losses, people are hypothesized to be primarily risk seeking, tending to prefer a gamble to an actuarially equivalent sure loss. This switch of risk...

As knowledge increases about human judgement processes, it is natural to suppose that it will be possible to use this knowledge in order to improve human judgment in situations where biases of various sorts have been shown to occur. Despite the reasonableness of this expectation, judgmental debiasing has proven extraordinarily difficult in most cases. This paper suggests that the reason for this failure is that debiasing must be in terms of the procedures that are actually used in the act of...

The preference reversal phenomenon (PRP) challenges the validity of nearly all descriptive decision theories. Subjects exhibiting PRP choose a P bet (with a large chance of a small gain) over a $ bet (small chance of large gain). But when asked to put buying or selling price bids on the two bets, they bid more for the $ bet. This pattern is termed P choice reversal. The opposite pattern, $ choice reversal, is rare. The following four propositions, all of which are supported by the present data,...

A distributional model of risk is described in which it is hypothesized that people's judgments of risk are similar to the kinds of judgments made in welfare economics concerning inequality of income distributions. The role played by the Lorenz curve in analyzing inequality is described and it is shown how Lorenz curves can be used to describe risks. Two hypotheses are presented concerning risk: first, that representing risks with Lorenz curves will be useful in capturing the salient...

It has been known for some time that subjects in Bayesian tasks produce data that look more like averages than like inferences. Shanteau suggested that the proper descriptive rule for the data is a weighted average. Wallsten, however, pointed out that a constant weighted averaging rule such as Shanteau used is formally equivalent to the Bayesian rule in that both are qualitatively additive. In principle, however, averaging can be differentially weighted, in which case it becomes non-additive....

Psychophysical theories of risk (e.g., Bernoullian utility theory, prospect theory) are compared with motivational theories (e.g., those of McClelland and Atkinson). A new theory is proposed that describes risk taking in terms of two factors: Factor 1 is a dispositional variable involving motivation for security risk versus potential risk. This factor distinguishes averse and risk seeking individuals and reflects primarily whether the individual is motivated to avoid bad outcomes or to achieve...

Two within-subject experiments are reported in which subjects played either the offensive or the defensive role of a computerized board game. In either roles, the subject's task for each move was to choose between alternative outcome distributions. The game was designed so that subjects were generally best off on offense if they chose the riskier of the two distributions and best off on defense if they chose the more consevative of the two distributions. The results of the experiments are...

Two empirically well supported research findings in the judgment literature are that (1) human judgments often appear to follow an averaging rule, and (2) judgments in Bayesian inference tasks are usually conservative relative to optimal judgments. This paper argues that both averaging and conservatism in the Bayesian task occur because subjects produce their judgments by using an adjustment strategy that is qualitatively equivalent to averaging. Two experiments are presented that support this...
