Associate Professor @RSMErasmus. I study decisions and behaviors, and the methods we use to study decisions and behaviors.

Theories and studies of risk preferences typically assume that the subjective value of an outcome is independent of its probability. In this paper https://t.co/IZi9fYf3Fs (in press at Management Science) @andre_quentin and I questioned the validity of this assumption 1/2

@jpsimmon Very happy for you and for everyone.

[Gabriele Paolacci @gpaolacci]

@OlegUrminsky Fantastic! Congratulations!

@i_evangelidis @Prolific Hopefully it was a representative sample

Just had a paper sent back from a journal, about 2 hours after I submitted, because the footnotes were not in Times New Roman.

Hi Society for Judgment and Decision-Making appreciators!

Let us know about your SJDM related announcements, conferences, and jobs by tagging @SJDM_Tweets in your tweets!

@andre_quentin One version of that argument is that tradeoff exists at researcher level--both rigor and relevance take effort, effort is zero-sum, so focus with rigor implies neglecting relevance. Not my take :-) "Rigor and Relevance" will be the theme of the Doc Symp at #ACR2024! @aconsres

[Gabriele Paolacci @gpaolacci]

@annemscheel @ianhussey That's great. I've been long looking for a small exercise (ideally not requiring particular programming skills) to let people experience how degrees of freedom affect conclusions. I'd also love to learn more...

🚨 New in @PNASNews 🚨

We find that people see more of their #biases in #algorithms' decisions than in their own #decisions, even when algorithms are trained on their decisions and when those decisions are the same. 1/n

@MarijkeLeliveld right now he's likely showing a screenshot of your post and telling his classmates "told you this would happen, give me the money"

Woke up to the good news that our paper (w/ @nreinholtz) on group sequential designs is accepted at @JCRNEWS !

Want to learn more about designing more efficient and more informative studies? This blog post summarizes the key insights from our paper:

Papers covered by @nytimes get cited more. Is that causal or just selection bias?
Almost surely causal: papers that NYT *wanted* to cover but *didn't* because of a strike got cited similarly as unwanted (but equally prominent) papers

@lakens @CameronBrick Until now I thought "very learned opponent" and "highly learned opponent" were interchangeable :-) I find the formality of PhD defense in the NL very funny (and surprising for the NL), and also defied by how many people in the room clearly find it funny.

@ignaziano Someone probably meant to nominate Iganzio and they spelled it wrong

[Gabriele Paolacci @gpaolacci]

@jayvanbavel @gavaruzzi @eRubaltelli We got the first rejection by some journal in the morning. We resubmitted it right away to Judgment and Decision-Making. @jonbaron1944 read it and desk rejected it in the afternoon--on very fair grounds and sharing actual comments. A mix of many emotions.

[Gabriele Paolacci @gpaolacci]

@silvia_saccardo @CarnegieMellon @CMU_DietrichHSS congrats!!

The subjective value of a prospective outcome should not depend on the likelihood it will occur, but @gpaolacci & @andre_quentin find people actually anticipate less utility from uncertain than from certain outcomes, even conditional on their realization:
