8F Does Feeling Ignorant Give Us More Control?
This research attempts to further distinguish between variants of uncertainty in a novel way. We investigate aleatory (chance) and epistemic (knowledge) uncertainty in their effect of perceived control. We find that aleatory uncertainty leads to lower perceptions of control whereas epistemic uncertainty leads to higher perceptions of control.
