Primes¶
- Action Bias
- First, action is more visible, so its contribution to outcomes is more readily attributable to the actor, drawing praise on success and exerting a self-presentation pull even toward risky action.
This sourceIntroduces and analyzes action bias as a systematic preference for action driven by attributional asymmetry rather than expected value; documents the self-presentation pull toward visible action.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract establishes action bias as a systematic, nonrational penchant for action, but nowhere states the visibility-attribution mechanism or the self-presentation pull toward risky action the claim asserts.
“Individuals have a penchant for action, often for good reasons. But action bias arises if that penchant is carried over to areas where those reasons do not apply, hence is nonrational.”
- First, action is more visible, so its contribution to outcomes is more readily attributable to the actor, drawing praise on success and exerting a self-presentation pull even toward risky action.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
