Unskilled and Don't Want to Be Aware of It: The Effect of Self-Relevance on the Unskilled and Unaware Phenomenon
Previous research found that poor performers tend to overestimate how well their performance compares to others'. This unskilled and unaware effect has been attributed to poor performers' lack of metacognitive ability to realize their ineptitude. We contend that the unskilled are motivated to ignore (be unaware of) their poor performance so that they can feel better about themselves. We tested ...
متن کاملUnskilled and unaware of it: how difficulties in recognizing one's own incompetence lead to inflated self-assessments.
People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. ...
متن کاملUnskilled and unaware--but why? A reply to Krueger and Mueller (2002).
J. Kruger and D. Dunning (1999) argued that the unskilled suffer a dual burden: Not only do they perform poorly, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. J. Krueger and R. A. Mueller (2002) replicated these basic findings but interpreted them differently. They concluded that a combination of the better-than-average (BTA) effect and a regression artifact bette...
متن کاملAn Empirical Comparison of Distance Measures for Multivariate Time Series Clustering
Multivariate time series (MTS) data are ubiquitous in science and daily life, and how to measure their similarity is a core part of MTS analyzing process. Many of the research efforts in this context have focused on proposing novel similarity measures for the underlying data. However, with the countless techniques to estimate similarity between MTS, this field suffers from a lack of comparative...
متن کاملThe Impact of Teachers’ Self-evaluations through Rubrics versus Supervisors’ Observation on their Performance in Setting Group-work Activities
As a tool for self-evaluation and also self-regulation, rubrics can be very useful in equipping the language teachers with an assessment device. Moreover, teachers need feedback for their professional development, but how feedback is provided is a challenging question. This study was an attempt to find the effectiveness of self-evaluation through rubrics on setting up group work activities by E...
