6/7: Implications? This nuanced view of confidence suggests interventions aimed at reducing general overconfidence might miss the mark. Instead, empowering people to rely on confidence in specific contexts could better combat misinformation.

5/7: Interestingly, this effect held across political lines: both Democrat-leaning and Republican-leaning people were better at distinguishing true from false information when confident in specific judgments, regardless of overall general confidence.

3/7: In this brief report, we find that higher general confidence is indeed correlated with worse performance in spotting false news—consistent with what Lyons et al. 2021 find. But when participants feel confident about the judgment of a specific task , they were more accurate!

2/7: We distinguish between two types of confidence:
- General confidence in one's abilities
- Specific confidence in a particular judgment
While general overconfidence is linked to poorer accuracy, specific confidence in judgment serves as a better predictor of accuracy.

1/7: 📢 New pre-print alert! @mrocklage, Mohsen Mosleh, @DG_Rand and I challenge the common belief that confidence is purely a driver of misinformation susceptibility. Our results show that confidence in specific judgments might actually improve truth discernment. A 🧵👇

I wrote a small script for backing up all your Qualtrics surveys (.qsf files + data) locally using their API, and figured it might be helpful for someone else. It could definitely be improved, but it worked for me as a way to have a backup just in case: github.com/whryan/qualtrics_…
Can anyone point me to scholars who work on any two-stage choices, or some kind of nested decisions?

Interesting (and fairly depressing) results about how null effects are perceived.

Interesting initiative at JCR to help fund data collection for underfunded scholars with promising but incomplete papers. I'm very curious what kind of take-up there will be. In the meantime, spread the word...

Our systematic review & pre-registered meta-analysis of growth mindset interventions on academic achievement psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-… and our reply to commentaries is now out in Psychological Bulletin.
A (long) thread.
(4/4) So I just hope that along with the person being blamed, these bad incentives can also be blamed.
