The study investigated 2 aspects of the accuracy (i.e., realism) of confidence judgments of persons age 60-93 years (N = 1,384) regarding their answers to general knowledge questions. These aspects are the level of confidence (calibration) in relation to the proportion of correct answers and the ability to discriminate between correct and incorrect answers by means of confidence judgments. No age differences were found for either of the 2 aspects. Gender differences were found for proportion of correct answers and confidence but not for the realism in the confidence judgments.
该研究调查了60至93岁(N = 1384)的人对常识问题答案的信心判断准确性(即现实性)的两个方面。这两个方面是与正确答案比例相关的信心水平(校准),以及通过信心判断区分正确和错误答案的能力。在这两个方面均未发现年龄差异。在正确答案比例和信心方面发现了性别差异,但在信心判断的现实性方面未发现性别差异。
