Is the overconfidence effect sabotaging your communication?
from Disagree better · host Tammy Lenski
The overconfidence effect is a natural bias toward believing that we’re better at something than we actually are. The overconfidence effect can distort belief in the accuracy of a strong memory, estimations of how long it will take to get things done, judgment about our intelligence compared to others, and even the reliability of eyewitness accounts. It can sabotage communication during conflict, too. Find the transcript with links here. To receive transcripts of new episodes automatically, subscribe at tammylenski.com/subscribe/.
