A test to identify judgement bias in mice

Research bias in judgement bias studies – a systematic review of valuation judgement literature

Valuation judgement bias has been a research topic for several years due to its proclaimed effect on valuation accuracy. However, little is known on the emphasis of literature on judgement bias, with regard to, for instance, research methodologies, research context and robustness of research evidence. A synthesis of available research will establish consistency in the current knowledge base on ...

Treatment bias and clinical judgement.

The Effect of Cognitive Bias Modification in the Attention Bias of Students With Test Anxiety

Abstract Introduction: Many of the students chr('39')educational problems, including academic failure and maladaptive behaviors, stem from exam anxiety caused by studentschr('39') cognitive bias. Cognitive bias modification can reduce attention biases students to be negative. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive bias modification interven...

A Bayesian test to identify variance effects

Identifying genetic variants that regulate quantitative traits, or QTLs, is the primary focus of the field of statistical genetics. Most current methods are limited to identifying mean effects, or associations between genotype and the mean value of a quantitative trait. It is possible, however, that a genetic variant may affect the variance of the quantitative trait in lieu of, or in addition t...

A New Approach to Assessing Test Bias

A new regression-based method of assessing test bias is proposed. We highlight two different potential causes of differences in groups' regression line intercepts. Intercepts differing due to mean criterion score differences are not interpreted as predictive test bias. Using both simulated and employee data, we illustrate this new approach. Test bias is a systematic error in how a test measures...
