Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Objective: Little attention has been paid to the nuanced and complex decisions made in the clinical session context and how these decisions influence therapy effectiveness. Despite decades of research on the dual-processing systems, it remains unclear when and how intuitive and analytical reasoning influence the direction of the clinical session. Method: This paper puts forth a testable conceptual model, guided by an interdisciplinary integration of the literature, that posits that the clinical session context moderates the use of intuitive versus analytical reasoning. Results: A synthesis of studies examining professional best practices in clinical decision-making, empirical evidence from clinical judgment research, and the application of decision science theories indicate that intuitive and analytical reasoning may have profoundly different impacts on clinical practice and outcomes. Conclusions: The proposed model is discussed with respect to its implications for clinical practice and future research.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Inferential processes, such as backward (causal) and forward (predictive) inferences, underlie the majority of judgments made by psychotherapists. Such judgments are then used to guide the psychotherapeutic process. In one experiment, psychology students generated a series of inferential judgments about a hypothetical client. Despite the assumed greater uncertainty associated with Forward inferences (FI) , there were no higher feelings of rightness (Thompson et al., 2012) associated with these judgments' outcomes when compared to backward inferences (BI). However, participants were more willing to use their BI than their FI outcomes to prepare their future clinical work. The role of therapists' metacognition is discussed

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Behaviors representative of a mental health disorder should be categorized as symptoms and not as dispositional traits (DSM-5). We tested whether disorder diagnoses would thus lead to discount trait inferences as situational explanations for the behaviors (e.g., Gilbert et al., 1988). Psychology students were presented with brief trait-implying behavioural descriptions (of different targets), each one followed by one of three continuations: neutral, situational and disorder-diagnosis. Participants then rated each target on a list of traits (including the implied traits). Compared to the neutral condition, the situational but not the disorder-diagnosis condition led to a decreased in the implied-trait inferences. This suggests that, mental health disorders are not used to discount trait inferences from behavior.

A social cognitive approach to clinical gut: The impact of backward and forward inferences on psychotherapist’s metacognitive confidence and information seeking

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The non-decomposable nature of a psychotherapy session favours intuitive judgments (see Hammond et al., 1987), which may have lingering effects on psychotherapists’ conceptualization of patients’ conditions. Specifically, the feeling of rightness associated to intuitive judgments (e.g., Koriat, 2012, Thompson et al., 2012) is likely to lead to overconfidence and to the use of a confirmatory hypothesis testing strategies. This, may compromise therapists’ evaluation of their clinical (intuitive) judgments. This tendency could be moderated if besides backward inferences (causal explanations) therapists were requested to make forward inferences (predictions) based on the same session information. Forward inferences are associated to more uncertainty than backward inferences (Hogarth, 2010), and are expected to be associated to an open mindset (e.g. Fiedler et al., 2005). Therefore, forward inferences could decrease overconfidence in the clinical judgment and promote non-confirmatory information seeking, thus contributing to therapy effectiveness. Two studies manipulate inference direction to test the aforementioned hypotheses. Study 1 used a between-participants design to manipulate backward or forward inferences about a fictional case in order to induce causal (closed) or predictive (open) mindsets. Dependent measures inclu-de confidence ratings (feelings of rightness) for each judgment and perceived judgments’ utility to prepare the following sessions. As expected, making backward inferences lead to a) higher feelings of rightness; and b) higher perceived utility. Study 2 (data collection is undergoing) was designed to replicate Study 1 and to shed light on the underlying psychological mechanisms. Specifically, psychology students are presented with two cases and requested to estimate the probability of causal factors for the client’s symptoms for one case and the probability of future effects of the client’s symptoms for the other case. After each clinical judgment, confidence (feeling of rightness) is measured. Subsequently, participants rate their willingness to include their judgments in the client’s report (Koriat & Goldsmith, 1996). Finally, participants information se-eking strategies are assessed by asking them to a) rate the likelihood of several diagnosis; and b) select the symptoms they would like to know more about in order to better understand the client’s case. Backward inferences (closed mindset) should lead to higher confidence and a more confirmatory information seeking strategies than forward inferences (open mindset). Feelings of rightness are expected to mediate the relation between causal reasoning (backward vs. forward inferences) and the information seeking strategy. Strategies to prevent overconfidence stemming from clinical intuitions are discussed.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Numa sessão clínica, a dificuldade em decompor a informação favorece o uso da intuição por parte do terapeuta, podendo levar a sobreconfiança (e.g., Koriat, 2012, ompson et al., 2012) e procura confirmatória de informação, comprometendo a eficácia da terapia. Esta tendência pode ser contrariada pelo tipo de julgamento causal. Inferências prospectivas (previsões de efeitos), associadas a maior incerteza do que inferências retrospectivas (explicações causais) (Hogarth, 2010), devem diminuir a confiança e promover uma estratégia infirmatória de procura de informação. Para testar estas hipóteses, manipulamos a direcção causal da inferência. No estudo 1 (inter-participantes), após a apresentação de um caso, os participantes fazem julgamentos sobre possíveis causas ou possíveis efeitos dos sintomas; seguidamente, avaliam a confiança nos seus julgamentos. O estudo 2, replica o estudo 1 e avança na compreensão dos processos subjacentes à procura de informação. Num design intra-participantes, depois da apresentação do caso e das medidas de confiança, é pedido aos participantes a probabilidade de vários diagnósticos; e os sintomas sobre os quais querem mais informação. Tal como esperado, inferências prospectivas levam a maior confiança e a estratégias mais,confirmatórias da informação. Formas de reduzir a confiança nos julgamentos clínicos são discutidas.

Diagnostic inference: No cure for correspondence bias
Publication year: 2017

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Mental health practitioners should categorize behaviors representative of a mental health disorder as situational symptoms and not as dispositional traits (DSM-5). However, people tend to show a correspondence bias, to draw dispositional inferences from behavior, while neglecting alternative contextual explanations (Gilbert & Malone, 1995). But are able to discount (insufficiently) the role of the implied trait in the production of the behavior when a condition present in the situation could clearly induce the behavior by itself (Gilbert 2002). This correction process has been shown only with situational conditions that by themselves
would never bring to mind the inferred trait. However, psychotherapy contexts may posit the case where a situational condition such as a disorder diagnosis may not only afford a competing causal account of the behavior (situational symptom), but may also activate the implied trait. This case has never been contemplated.
Three studies were conducted to explore this question. We presented trait-implicative paragraphs that also matched a disorder diagnosis (e.g., lazy – depression), and manipulated the behavior account (neutral, physical impairment, disorder diagnosis). Main
dependent measures were participants’ trait ratings of the implicated traits (complemented by ratings of behavioral perceived stability, control and attribution). Studies 1 and 2 show that the disorder diagnosis lead to almost no trait discount. The first two studies may be accounting by the lack of knowledge from our participants about the nature of mental disorders. Study 3 replicates this finding with clinical psychologists suggesting that expertise does not decrease the correspondence inference. Together these studies suggest that, contrary to the spirit of the DSM-5, mental health disorders are not perceived as alternative behavior explanations. When a situational explanation may also activate the trait, people neglect its explanatory role for the behavior and make correspondence inferences. Further research should explore the causal links underlying this confound.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The non-decomposable nature of a psychotherapy session favours intuitive judgments (see Hammond et al., 1987), which may have lingering effects on psychotherapists’ conceptualization of patients’ conditions. Specifically, the feeling of rightness associated to intuitive judgments (e.g., Koriat, 2012, Thompson et al., 2012) is likely to lead to overconfidence and to the use of a confirmatory hypothesis testing strategies. This, may compromise therapists’ evaluation of their clinical (intuitive) judgments.
This tendency could be moderated if besides backward inferences (causal explanations) therapists were requested to make forward inferences (predictions) based on the same session information. Forward inferences are associated to more uncertainty than backward inferences (Hogarth, 2010), and are expected to be associated to an open mindset (e.g. Fiedler et al., 2005). Therefore, forward inferences could decrease overconfidence in the clinical judgment and promote non-confirmatory information seeking, thus contributing to therapy effectiveness.
The present study manipulates, within participants, inference direction: backward vs. forward. Psychology students were presented with two fictional cases and were asked to make clinical judgments, consisting on estimating the probability of causal factors for client’s symptoms for one case; and the probability of several future effects of the client’s symptoms for the other. After each clinical judgment, participants rated their feelings of rightness, and the overall confidence after all judgments. Finally, information seeking strategies were measured through the ratings of likelihood of several diagnosis; the selection of additional
symptoms, from a list, to better understand the case; and the time spent reading additional information.
As expected, results suggest that backward inferences lead to higher confidence and more confirmatory information seeking strategies than forward inferences. Interestingly, backward inferences lead to more diagnostic information seeking strategy. Further research on the mediator role of confidence and therapists’ metacognition on information seeking strategies are discussed.

The role of a non-decomposable task in the integration of a diagnosis scheme and the effects in confirmation bias

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In a psychotherapy session, it is very difficult to decompose the flux of information in its parts. Such non-decomposable task, favors holistic and intuitive judgment processes (Hammond et al, 1987), which constrains the interpretation of subsequent information along the lines of the firstly activated schemes (Eyal et al., 2011). Thus, we hypothesize that nondecomposable
tasks favor primacy effects and often lead to confirmatory biases. In contrast, a task decomposed and analysed in its parts is expected to elicit a more deliberative reasoning, counteracting primacy effects and leading more often to disconfirmatory strategies of hypothesis testing.
To test these hypotheses, in two studies, we presented participants with an audio excerpt of a fictional client describing her depression symptoms, manipulated the decomposability of the excerpt. In the non-decomposable condition, participants were presented a case (without interruptions) and asked a final global clinical judgment (risk to develop psychopathology based in all behaviors). In the decomposable condition, participants heard the case in 6 smaller parts, completing, after each excerpt, an interim judgment about the likelihood of developing psychopathology based in that specific behavior. After the 6 excerpts,
participants made the same final global clinical judgment. Following this, participants rated the likelihood of three possible diagnoses. We manipulated within-participants the order of the presentation of depression symptoms in the beginning (depression scheme activated) vs. end (no activation of depression scheme) of the case.
Results show that when a scheme is activated (depression symptoms presented in the beginning), understanding the case in a non-decomposable way leads to higher ratings only to depression, than participants in the decomposable condition, which gave higher ratings to two diagnosis. This suggests that making a non-decomposable task lead to a more confirmatory bias. Implications to therapy session will be discussed.

No cure for correspondence bias: Diagnosis is not used to discount the trait inference

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
People tend to draw dispositional inferences from behavior, neglecting situational explanations (correspondence bias; Gilbert & Malone, 1995). However, they discount the implied trait when there is an alternative explanation (Gilbert 2002). Behaviors symptomatic of mental disorders should be categorized as situational, not as dispositional traits (DSM-5). Our goal is to test whether disorder diagnosis lead to discounting trait inferences as situational explanations for behaviors. In six studies, we manipulated behavior account (neutral, physical impairment, disorder diagnosis) of paragraphs simultaneously implicative of traits and diagnosis (e.g., lazy-depression). We measured implicated traits rating. Together, these studies suggest that disorder diagnosis lead to insufficient discount, implying that they are not perceived as alternative behavior explanations.

The impact of task decomposability and scheme activation in hypothesis testing strategy
Publication year: 2017

http://www.appe.pt/encontro/files/APPE17_ProgramaComunicacoes.pdf
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
A non-decomposable task, such as a clinical session, favors holistic and intuitive judgment processes (Hammond et al, 1987), constraining the interpretation of subsequent information according to the activated scheme (Eyal et al., 2011). Thus, we hypothesize that non-decomposable tasks favor primacy effects and lead to confirmatory biases, when comparing to decomposed tasks. In two studies, we manipulated the decomposability (uninterrupted vs. interrupted) of an audio excerpt of a client describing depression symptoms. We measure hypotheses testing strategy through participants’ ratings of the likelihood of three possible diagnoses. Results show that when a scheme is activated, understanding the case in a non-decomposable way leads to more confirmatory strategy than in the decomposable condition. Implications to therapy session will be discussed.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
People can easily draw personality trait inferences from other’s behaviors. However behavioral information may come from past, present, or future behaviors. The present work explores how temporal asymmetries may impact trait inferences. In study 1, we asked participants to make trait inferences from a positive past vs. positive future behavior and found more extreme inferences from past behaviors than from future behaviors. In study 2, we manipulated perceived intentionality and valence and show this result only stands for social-positive behaviors when the intentions of the actor are unequivocal. Importantly, under uncertainty regarding the actor’s intention, people infer more extreme traits from future than from past social-negative behaviors, thus reversing the previous finding.

Psychological disorder diagnosis is no cure for trait inferences bias
Publication year: 2021

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jasp.12821
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, maladaptive behavior stemming from a psychological disorder should not be attributed to personality. Attribution of behavioral symptoms to personality may undermine treatment-seeking and therapy outcomes and increase the stigmatization of the mentally ill. Although people adjust dispositional inferences given contextual alternative causes, we propose that beliefs in the stability and controllability of mental illness could lead to confounded representations of personality and psychological disorders. In six studies we tested whether people adjust dispositional inferences given a psychological disorder as they do give a physical impairment. Participants made trait ratings from short behavioral descriptions and corresponding contextual accounts. When the putative cause for the behavior was a psychological disorder, people did not reduce the trait inference to the extent they did when the cause was a physical impairment, except when the psychological disorder was presented as controllable/unstable. This suggests a conflation of psychological disorders with personality.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Decision science research distinguishes between Intuitive and Analytic processes (Kahneman, 2011). Intuitive processes show more confirmatory hypothesis-testing tendencies due to associative schema-driven processes than analytic processes which may lead to different judgment outcomes. Yet, research aiming to understand whether, when and how clinical psychologists use intuition in their clinical judgments is scarce (e.g., Jacinto et al., 2018).
AIMS
The present research seeks to understand whether and how clinical intuitive processes lead to confirmatory processing about others with mental illness and psychological suffering and how this impacts personality impressions and mental illness stigma.
METHOD
This research puts forth a conceptual model, guided by an interdisciplinary integration of clinical psychology, decision sciences and neuropsychology. Through experimental paradigms, using both behavioral and neural methods, we explore conditions that promote the use of intuitive confirmatory processing.
RESULTS
The results from 19 studies indicate that 1) when clinicians are asked to segment the information diagnosis judgments are less confirmatory than when they process information as a whole; 2) psychological disorder diagnosis does not lead to adjustments of spontaneous trait; 3) a psychological cause for suffering reduces perceived competence, morality and the likelihood to grant euthanasia.
CONCLUSIONS
Intuitive confirmatory tendencies guide clinical judgments. Whether information is processed holistically or step-by-step leads to rely more or less in intuitive processes. There is an intuitive conflation between personality and psychological disorder. Mental illness stigma affects judgements and decisions about people in psychological suffering.

Title:
Effortless online shopping? How online shopping contexts prime heuristic processing

Abstract/Results: Abstract
Online shopping is often motivated by the opportunity to save resources due to its high convenience and accessibility. We thus propose that online-shopping contexts can prime low effort processing, which increase heuristic decisions, when compared with offline contexts. Four experimental studies test this hypothesis. Study 1 shows that consumers expect to spend fewer resources in online than in offline shopping decisions. Studies 2 to 4 show that priming an online (vs. offline) shopping context increases reliance on heuristic cues in probability judgments (Study 2) and in product choices (Studies 3 and 4). Results further show that systematic processing of relevant nonheuristic information is reduced after priming online-shopping contexts and suggest that resource-saving expectations associated to online-shopping mediate attitudes toward systematic-options. This research brings novel and important contributions by investigating the role of online shopping contexts on the activation of resource-saving expectations and on the use heuristic cues in consumer decisions. Limits and implications are discussed.
