| Abstract | Focuses on the facet of hindsight bias known as creeping determinism. Hindsight bias describes characteristic changes in the perceptions of events or facts once their outcomes are known. Creeping determinism denotes enhanced hindsight perceptions of the inevitability of event outcomes. The authors suggest a systematic link between the literature on causal attribution and hindsight bias/creeping determinism and introduce a comprehensive causal model theory (CMT) of creeping determinism. Then, they distinguish between two alternative versions of CMT which reflect recent debates in the causal attribution literature. These versions assume that individuals make causal attributions by means of covariation analysis or via the discovery of some underlying mechanism. In order to contrast these assumptions, a new hypothesis concerning the magnitude of creeping determinism is introduced which is based on the conjunction effect in causal attribution. Finally, empirical evidence concerning this hypothesis is presented. (ZPID). |
