The Influence of Confirmatory Reasoning on Extremeness Aversion
Attractive confirmation increases self-confidence, provides reassurance and reduces sense of uncertainty. This confirmatory reasoning aimed to reach a consistent and readily justifiable decision. We predict that confirmation can either enhance self-confidence or decrease the sense of uncertainty in decision making. Moreover, low self-confidence and uncertainty would result in extremeness aversion.
