Illusory Correlations: When The Mind Makes Connections That Don’t Exist

Illusory Correlations: When The Mind Makes Connections That Don’t Exist | Mindfull Decision Making | Scoop.it
Why do CEOs who excel at golf get paid more, despite poorer stock market performance?
luiy's curator insight, May 10, 5:10 PM

To see how easily the mind jumps to the wrong conclusions, try virtually taking part in a little experiment...

 

...imagine that you are presented with information about two groups of people about which you know nothing. Let's call them the Azaleans and the Begonians.

 

For each group you are given a list of positive and negative behaviours. A good one might be: an Azalean was seen helping an old lady across the road. A bad one might be: a Begonian urinated in the street.

So, you read this list of good and bad behaviours about the Azaleans and Begonians and afterwards you make some judgements about them. How often do they perform good and bad behaviours and what are they?

What you notice is that it's the Begonians that seem dodgy. They are the ones more often to be found shoving burgers into mailboxes and ringing doorbells and running away. The Azaleans, in contrast, are a sounder bunch; certainly not blameless, but overall better people.

 

While you're happy with the judgement, you're in for a shock. What's revealed to you afterwards is that actually the ratio of good to bad behaviours listed for both the Azaleans and Begonians was exactly the same. For the Azaleans 18 positive behaviours were listed along with 8 negative. For the Begonians it was 9 positive and 4 negative.

In reality you just had less information about the Begonians. What happened was that you built up an illusory connection between more frequent bad behaviours and the Begonians; they weren't more frequent, however, they just seemed that way.

When the experiment is over you find out that most other people had done exactly the same thing, concluding that the Begonians were worse people than the Azaleans.

Wie trifft man gute Entscheidungen? Ratio versus Intuition …

Wie trifft man gute Entscheidungen? Ratio versus Intuition … | Mindfull Decision Making | Scoop.it

Das Thema Intuition hatte wir schon einige Male anklingen lassen. Ich habe mir gerade den Vortrag Wie trifft man gute Entscheidungen? des Direktors des Max-Planck-Instituts für Bildungsforschung, Prof. Gigerenzer, gehalten auf den Petersberger Gesprächen 2012, angehört, und auch er empfiehlt uns, neben der Logik auch die Intuition zu nutzen. Besonders wenn die Entscheidung auf einem komplexen, unsicheren Hintergrund erfolgen soll. Die Botschaft der Verfechter des rationalen Entscheidens lautet: Zuerst wägen, dann wagen. Zuerst analysieren, dann agieren.

Was ist Intuition? Nach Gigerenzer ist das gefühlte Wissen, was sehr schnell im Bewusstsein ist, aber die Gründe dafür sind nicht bewusst: SIE SIND NICHT IN SPRACHE! Dieser Teil des Wissens ist der bei Weitem größte. Wer also nicht auf seine Intuition hört, nutzt den größten Teil seines Gehirns nicht. Intuition sei kein sechster Sinn und auch keine göttliche Eingebung. Intuition funktioniert auf viel Erfahrung, sich auf das Wesentliche zu konzentrieren und den Rest zu ignorieren.

 

Siehe dagegen die heutige ökonomische Theorie des erwarteten Nutzenmaximierens: liste die Möglichkeiten mit ihren Pros und Kons, dann gewichte und berechne. Auf die Frage, wer seinen Ehepartner so ausgewählt hätte, kam ein Handzeichen. Klick? Unsere Gesellschaft tolleriere keine Bauchentscheidungen. Dennoch würden insgeheim die Manager zu 50% oder gar mehr intuitiv entscheiden, so eine Analyse in einem deutschen Daxunternehmen. So wird häufig nach der insgeheim getroffen Entscheidung noch ein rechtfertigendes Gutachten teuer eingekauft, das dann die rationalen Gründe noch nachliefert. Typisch sind hier Firmenkulturen mit Nullfehlertolleranz, so dass jeder Manager lieber seinen Arsch rettet als zum Nutzen der Firma zu handeln, indem er nicht oder eben defensiv entscheidet. So würden 30-40% eher weniger zuträgliche Entscheidungen getroffen. Besonders schlimm ist es offensichtlich in der Ärzteschaft der USA. Dort würde aus Eigenschutz zu 93% gegen den Patentien entschieden. Wir misstrauen der Intuition Anderer, aber trauen den Formeln von Experten blind. Er zeigt dies am Beispiel der kaum treffenden Vorhersagen der Entwicklung des Euros seitens der Top-Banken in den letzten Jahren (wir erinnern uns auch ungerne an die Voraussagen unserer Wirtschaftsweisen, wo auch viel Geld für “Mist” in den Himmel ging. So mancher Hungernde hätte sich über das Geld gefreut.

Komplexität mit viel Unsicherheit müsse mit Einfachheit begegnet werden, so Gigerenzers Empfehlung.

 

Sein Fazit:

Intuition beruht auf schnellen, heuristischen Prozessen, die oft zu bessern Entscheidungen in einer unsicheren Welt führen als die kompliziertesten, statistischen Verfahren. Mehr Zeit, mehr Information und mehr Berechnung ist nicht immer besser. Weniger kann mehr sein.

 

In seinem Vortrag geht er noch auf einige Untersuchungen ein, wann die Intuition besser greift, u. a. geht er auch auf den Unterschied von Golf-Experten und -Anfänger ein, wenn für den Abschlag nur 3 Sekunden Zeit gegeben werden. Und auch Jens Lehmanns berühmter Zettel beim Elfmeterschießen gegen Argentinien kommt zur Sprache.....

Leider ist die Definition von Herrn Gigerenzer falsch. Laut Duden: "das unmittelbare, nicht diskursive, nicht auf Reflexion beruhende Erkennen, Erfassen eines Sachverhalts oder eines komplizierten Vorgangs". Wenn es heuristische Prozessen sind, ist es Reflexion, d.h. keine Intuition...

Les souvenirs numériques ne sont pas comme les souvenirs analogiques

Les souvenirs numériques ne sont pas comme les souvenirs analogiques | Mindfull Decision Making | Scoop.it

La lecture de la semaine est un article du quotidien britannique The Guardian, qui a réalisé ces derniers jours une série de papiers autour du droit à l’oubli. Celui-ci a été écrit par Kate Connolly, et il rend compte des arguments de Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, un des plus fervents partisans de ce droit à l’oubli. Viktor Mayer-Schönberger enseigne la gouvernance d’Internet à l’Oxford Internet Institute et pour lui, le droit à l’oubli n’est seulement une question légale, morale et technique, mais il touche à l’essence même de l’être humain.

Choosing less a form of protection says new study on decision-making

Imagine you have a choice to make. In one scenario, you'd get $8 and somebody else—a stranger – would get $8 too. In the other, you'd get $10; the stranger would get $12.
Philippe Vallat's insight:

No, humans are definitively not reasonable. Decision makers should know it.

If governments want to pursue economic policies that promote growth, the study's findings suggest people first need to feel secure enough to support and participate in those policies, says Prof. Leonardelli

Great discussion and the content applies to more than business. I believe that the discussion is not about what's better logic or emotions; it's about how we respect both our logic and emotions in making decisions. When we learn how do this we are in the realm of WISDOM.

Cris Popp's curator insight, April 4, 6:26 PM

I think you do better in life, and at work, if you accept that better than 85% of our behaviours are driven by unconscious drivers.  You just have to look at politics to see that often, decisions are made first, and justified afterwards.  This is fine when you're making a decision just for yourself – but if you're making decisions that affect others, they need to be made from a more rational basis.
This is especially the case, when through technology, a leader can have a much longer lever of control and reach over others.  That reach ranges from beiong as small as authority over someone elses job adn job happiness, all the way to the leaders of North Korea and the nuclear threat they wield over millions of people.
This is why, leaders especially, need to be aware of their own motives, and drivers, and to be humble about their perspective.  Their decsions may be perfectly rational - they need to accept they may not.  When I judge leaders, this capacity is one of the most important factors that I use.

Robert Carraway, a professor who teaches Quantitative Analysis at UVA’s Darden School of Business, has good news for both sides. In a post on big data and decision making in Forbes, “Meeting the Big Data challenge: Don’t be objective” he argues ”that the existence of Big Data and more rational, analytical tools and frameworks places more—not less—weight on the role of intuition.”
