{"pk":26188,"title":"Numeric Competencies and Anchoring Biases","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Two experiments were conducted to examine the role of threefacets of numeracy (objective (ONS), subjective (SNS), andsymbolic number mapping (SMap)) in three anchoring tasks(experimenter-given, self-generate, and valuation). We foundthat the three numeric competencies were associated withdifferent anchoring tasks. SMap was associated with none ofthe three anchor tasks, while ONS consistently predictedstronger susceptibility to self-generated anchoring. The roleof ONS and SNS in experimenter-given and valuation taskswere inconsistent. In Experiment 1, where the direction ofadjustment from an anchor is specified, ONS and SNS werepositively associated with anchor susceptibility in a valuationtask, while they were not in an experimenter-given anchortask. On the other hand, in Experiment 2 where the directionof adjustment from an anchor is uncertain, ONS and SNSwere positively associated with anchor susceptibility in anexperimenter-given anchor task, while they were not in avaluation task.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"anchoring effect; numeric competencies;individual differences; decision biases; symbolic numbermapping; anchor susceptibility"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0qd653m1","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Sangsuk","middle_name":"","last_name":"Yoon","name_suffix":"","institution":"Temple University","department":""},{"first_name":"Nathan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Fong","name_suffix":"","institution":"Temple University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2016-01-02T02:00:00+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26188/galley/15824/download/"}]}
