Beliefs of University Employees Leaving During a Fire Alarm: A Theory-based Belief Elicitation [PDF]
Background: Despite workplaces having policies on fire evacuation, many employees still fail to evacuate when there is a fire alarm. The Reasoned Action Approach is designed to reveal the beliefs underlying people's behavioral decisions and thus suggests

Cognitive heterogeneity and complex belief elicitation. [PDF]
AbstractThe Stochastic Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (SBDM) mechanism is a theoretically elegant way of eliciting incentive-compatible beliefs under a variety of risk preferences. However, the mechanism is complex and there is concern that some participants may misunderstand its incentive properties.

Alternative Initial Probability Tables for Elicitation of Bayesian Belief Networks
Bayesian Belief Networks are used in many fields of application. Defining the conditional dependencies via conditional probability tables requires the elicitation of expert belief to fill these tables, which grow very large quickly.

Facilitating the Elicitation of Beliefs for Use in Bayesian Belief Modelling
Abstract Expert opinion is increasingly being used to inform Bayesian Belief Networks, in particular to define the conditional dependencies modelled by the graphical structure. The elicitation of such expert opinion remains a major challenge due to both the quantity of information required and the ability of experts to quantify subjective beliefs ...

Mortality salience effects and status consumption-A reasoned action approach. [PDF]
Prior research suggests that mortality salience (MS) can promote status consumption, yet it remains unclear how these effects are formed. To address this gap, we applied the Reasoned Action Approach, which provides a systematic framework to examine how ...

Central Tendency Bias in Belief Elicitation
We conduct an experiment in which subjects participate in a first-price auction against an automaton that bids randomly in a given range. The subjects first place a bid in the auction. They are then given an incentivized elicitation of their beliefs of the opponent’s bid.
