Understanding how people rate their confidence is critical for the characterization of a wide range of perceptual, memory, motor and cognitive processes. To enable the continued exploration of these processes, we created a large database of confidence studies spanning a broad set of paradigms, participant populations and fields of study. The data from each study are structured in a common, easy-to-use format that can be easily imported and analysed using multiple software packages. Each dataset is accompanied by an explanation regarding the nature of the collected data. At the time of publication, the Confidence Database (which is available at https://osf.io/s46pr/) contained 145 datasets with data from more than 8,700 participants and almost 4 million trials. The database will remain open for new submissions indefinitely and is expected to continue to grow. Here we show the usefulness of this large collection of datasets in four different analyses that provide precise estimations of several foundational confidence-related effects.
了解人们如何评估自己的信心对于描述广泛的感知、记忆、运动和认知过程至关重要。为了能够继续探索这些过程，我们创建了一个大型的信心研究数据库，涵盖了广泛的范式、参与者群体和研究领域。每个研究的数据都以一种通用的、易于使用的格式进行结构化，可以使用多种软件包轻松导入和分析。每个数据集都附有关于所收集数据性质的说明。在发布之时，信心数据库（可在 https://osf.io/s46pr/ 上获得）包含 145 个数据集，这些数据集的数据来自 8700 多名参与者和近 400 万次试验。该数据库将无限期地开放供新的提交，并有望继续增长。在这里，我们展示了这个大型数据集集合在四个不同分析中的用处，这些分析提供了对几个基础信心相关效应的精确估计。
