Individual differences in intellectual and numerical abilities, knowledge and attitude towards active open-minded thinking among individuals that differ by reasoning performance and conflict detection

Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati individualne razlike u inteligenciji, numeričkim sposobnostima, matematičkom znanju i stavu prema aktivnom otvorenom mišljenju među sudionicima ovisno o njihovoj uspješnosti u zapažanju konflikta i točnosti u zadacima zanemarivanja osnovne proporcije i zadacima kockarske pogreške. Pretpostavili smo da će ispitanici koji nisu zapazili konflikt, ali su bili uspješniji u zadacima rasuđivanja imati veće rezultate na mjerenim osobinama od ostale tri skupine (uspješnih zapažatelja, neuspješnih nezapažatelja, neuspješnih zapažatelja), a da će oni koji nisu zapazili konflikt i koji su bili neuspješniji u zadacima rasuđivanja imati najniže rezultate. Pokazalo se da su pojedinci uspješniji u zadacima zanemarivanja osnovne proporcije imali više rezultate u testu inteligencije, vještiji u računanju i skloniji aktivnom otvorenom promišljanju, dok su oni uspješniji u zadacima kockarske pogreške ostvarili više rezultate u testu inteligencije i skloniji aktivnom otvorenom promišljanju više od neuspješnijih ispitanika u istim zadacima. Pretpostavke o uspješnim nezapažateljima kao kognitivno najsposobnijima i neuspješnim nezapažateljima kao kognitivno najnesposobnijima nismo podržali rezultatima.The aim of this research was to examine individual differences in intelligence, numeracy, mathematical knowledge and actively open-minded thinking among participants depending on their success in conflict detection and accuracy in base rate neglect and gambler's fallacy tasks. We hypothesized that the respondents who did not notice conflict but were more successful in reasoning tasks would have higher scores on measured traits than the other three groups (correct detectors, incorrect non-detectors and incorrect detectors) and that incorrect non-detectors would have the lowest scores. Individuals more successful in base rate neglect tasks performed better in intelligence tests appeared to be more numerate and valued active open-minded thinking more, while those more successful in gambler's fallacy tasks achieved higher results in intelligence tests and valued active open-minded thinking more than the respondents less successful in the same tasks. Hypotheses about successful non-detectors as the cognitively most capable and unsuccessful non-detectors as the most cognitively incompetent are not supported by the results
