Why Do We Follow Multiple Advisors' Advice More Than One Advisor's? – The Role of Precision
Tue—HZ_8—Talks4—3602
Presented by: Julia Luisa Bengelsdorf
The present study entails a conceptual replication and further investigation of the finding that judges in a judge-advisor system follow aggregated advice from multiple advisors more than a single piece of advice. Specifically, we compare the influence of a single piece of advice to the influence of aggregated advice from three advisors over a series of numerical judgment tasks. In addition, we introduce numerical precision as a potentially important determinant of advice taking when receiving advice from multiple advisors.
