<p>Abstract of the paper:</p>
<p>“On Overrating oneself…and knowing it”</p>
<p>When it comes to evaluating our own abilities and prospects, most (non-depressed) people are subject to a distorting bais. We think that we are better - friendlier, more well-liked, better leaders, and better drivers-than we really are. Once we learn about this bias, we should ratchet down our self-evaluations to correct for it. But we dont. That leaves us with an uncomfortable tension in our beliefs: we knowingly allow our beliefs to differ from the ones that we think are supported by our evidence. We can mitigate te tension by waffling between two belief states: a reflective state that has been recalibrated to take into account our tendency to overrate ourselves, and a non-reflective state that has not.</p>
<p>Awesome…i m definitely taking his class…</p>
<p>thx pinnedbot…u r very welcome to join our discussions anytime…</p>
<p>Yeah bombay boys rock all the way. Although the name “bombay boys” sounds quite gay. Please think of something more interesting immediately. I will now bring an end to all speculation. My name does have sanskrit roots. I don’t know sanskrit. But I do know what my name means. it’s basically “so-aham”. It means that “God is in me” or “I am god”–whatever it is, it’s pretty accurate. :D</p>
