Primes¶
- Dunning-Kruger Effect
- The intervention in this domain typically takes the form of enforcement mechanisms (position-size limits, leverage caps) rather than metacognitive training, because financial incentives often fail to calibrate confidence without structural constraint.
This sourceDocuments that overconfident investors trade excessively and reduce their returns; supports D16-113 (financial-trading overconfidence — low-skill traders are over-confident relative to their track record). RE-SOURCED: the marker previously carried key mcintosh-fowler-2019, whose actual paper ('Wise up: Clarifying the role of metacognition in the Dunning-Kruger effect', JEP:General 2019 — mis-titled and mis-attributed in the prime as 'Overconfidence in Young Children') concerns pointing/spatial-memory tasks, not financial trading, and does not support the trading claim.

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? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
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.
