You will not be graded down for wrong answers, so try to find all 15.People think they already know everything they need to make decisions(1) The world is filled with people who overestimate their abilities, a tendency (2) often explained as the Dunning-Kruger effect. Phenomenon suggests that (3) people who lack knowledge or expertise in a certain area are unable to (4) recognize they’re own limitations. Building on this idea, researchers Hunter (5) Gehlbach, Carly Robinson, and Angus Fletcher found a related problem: many (6) people assume they have enough information to make decision—even when the (7) information they have is incomplete or biased.(8) In a study, participants were intentionally given partial and biased (9) informations, but little considered the possibility that they were missing crucial (10) details. This led the researchers to conclude that people approach decision-(11) making with more confidences than is justified, often without stopping to question (12) if they know the whole story. The good news is that when people are eventually (13) presented with all the facts, they are generally willing to change them opinions.(14) The researchers created a scenario involving a school district that faced a (15) water shortage, forcing him to consider closing one school and merging its (16) students into another. The control group read full article that included arguments (17) for and against the merger. However, the experimental groups were given (18) different versions of the article—one that only favored the merger, and another (19) that only presented reasons to keep the schools separate. Despite having only (20) part of the information, participant in both groups were confident that they had (21) enough datas to make a decision.(22) Those who read the pro-merger version were overwhelmingly in favor of (23) merging, while those who read the anti-merger version leaned heavily toward (24) keeping the schools apart. Interestingly, when these participants later read the (25) article that supported opposite view, their opinions shifted, becoming more (26) balanced, similar to the control group.(27) The researchers initially believed people would stick to her original (28) opinions even after receiving new information, but this was not the case. Instead, (29) once people saw the full picture, they responded as though they had had all the (30) facts from the start. However, study shows that people tend to be overconfident (31) in their decisions, which can be problematic in today’s media environment where (32) much sources provide incomplete or misleading information.
