Interesting.
But this leads to a fairly deep question...
-
The researcher is able to judge who has complete information and who doesn't, and also who makes a better decision and who makes a worse one.
-
In reality, we don't know what we don't know, and the researchers don't know what we don't know, and they don't know what they don't know. In the end, everyone makes choices based on the information they have. Who is to say any of that is suboptimal unless someone has access to the complete information set, which no one does?
In the study researchers presented the participants with a fictional scenario. The control group received "all" the information (advantages and disadvantages of a decision), two other groups received partial information on the scenario.
