Abstract

We examined the hard-easy effect in the metacognitive monitoring of critical thinking (CT) skills and dispositions. Replicating our previous findings, students judged their CT skill as worse than the average student on a difficult, research methods, CT test, but better than average on self-report ratings of open-mindedness.
