People focus on optimistic scenarios and disregard pessimistic scenarios while predicting task completion times.
Task completion plans normally resemble best-case scenarios and yield overly optimistic predictions of completion times. The authors induced participants to generate more pessimistic scenarios and examined completion predictions. Participants described a pessimistic scenario of task completion either alone or with an optimistic scenario. Pessimistic scenarios did not affect predictions or accur...
متن کاملDo People Emote While Engaged in Hci Office Scenarios?
Affect plays a key role in human interactions with computers. It influences critical aspects of success in life, such as learning, decision-making and social interactions. This paper describes an experiment to assess if, how, and when people emote while working with computers in office scenarios. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that addresses this question. For the experim...
متن کاملPessimistic and Optimistic Induction
Learning methods vary in the optimism or pessimism with which they regard the informativeness of learned knowledge. Pessimism is implicit in hypothesis testing, where we wish to draw cautious conclusions from experimental evidence. However, this paper demonstrates that optimism in the utility of derived rules may be the preferred bias for learning systems themselves. We examine the continuum be...
متن کاملPeople Counting In Complex Scenarios
This paper addresses vision-based people counting under the assumption of an oblique stationary camera setup without any usage of tracking. Our approach is based on motion detection and blob analysis. The estimation of the number of people in the scene is done by accumulating the estimation values of each blob. The blob specific estimation values are computed using four input values: the minimu...
متن کاملExploring the "Planning Fallacy": Why People Underestimate Their Task Completion Times
This study tested 3 main hypotheses concerning people's predictions of task completion times: (a) People underestimate their own but not others' completion times, (b) people focus on plan-based scenarios rather than on relevant past experiences while generating their predictions, and (c) people's attributions diminish the relevance of past experiences. Results supported each hypothesis. Ss' pre...
