Abstract | Tested the influence of accessibility experiences on belief perseverance when participants generate explanations for a reported outcome or for an alternative outcome. A total of 60 online participants (mean age 32 years) participated in 2 experiments which presented a description of a psychological experiment followed by an explanation of its 2 possible outcomes. It was investigated whether belief perseverance is attenuated when few vs many reasons explaining a reported outcome have to be generated (Experiment 1) and whether belief perseverance increases when subjects were instructed to explain the opposite outcome. Results showed that those participants who had listed many reasons about the reported outcome rated this outcome after debriefing to be less likely - and hence exhibited no belief perseverance - than participants who had listed few reasons or subjects in a standard perseverance group (Experiment 1). In contrast, participants who had listed many reasons favoring an alternative outcome rated the reported outcome to be more likely and thus showed more belief perseverance than subjects who had listed only few reasons or participants in a standard perseverance condition (Experiment 2). Both effects are interpreted as evidence for the influence of accessibility experiences in the domain of belief perseverance. (ZPID). |
