Improving self-knowledge: How performance feedback impacts individuals’ self-estimates of their cognitive abilities
Individuals assess their cognitive abilities in different situations, however, those self-estimates are rather inaccurate. In two experiments (each N = 200), we investigated whether performance feedback improves the accuracy of self-estimates. Our participants performed cognitive tasks and estimated their abilities beforehand. One half received feedback on their performance, whereas the other half did not. Then, all participants estimated their abilities and performed each task again. Overall, performance feedback did not impact self-estimate accuracy for a variety of cognitive abilities. Interestingly, the correlations between performance ratings and performance got higher over time in both groups and for most ability domains, suggesting that practice enhances self-estimate accuracy. Thus, experience with a task and self-estimates might foster self-knowledge, rather than performance feedback.
期刊介绍:
Emphasizing experimental and descriptive research, the Journal of Research in Personality presents articles that examine important issues in the field of personality and in related fields basic to the understanding of personality. The subject matter includes treatments of genetic, physiological, motivational, learning, perceptual, cognitive, and social processes of both normal and abnormal kinds in human and animal subjects. Features: • Papers that present integrated sets of studies that address significant theoretical issues relating to personality. • Theoretical papers and critical reviews of current experimental and methodological interest. • Single, well-designed studies of an innovative nature. • Brief reports, including replication or null result studies of previously reported findings, or a well-designed studies addressing questions of limited scope.
