Improving Decision Making: For Whom and How Debiasing Works

Friday, May 24, 2019 · Washington, DC

Oral · Social

Individual differences in decision making are more general and malleable than previously believed. They are quantifiable and can be improved through a variety of debiasing interventions. We show how to identify people in need of debiasing, and how person and context-based interventions improve decision making over the short and long-term.
