| Abstract: | How do people make evaluations when important items of information are missing? Decision makers may predict the missing attribute based on its assumed relationship to attributes that are present. It has been suggested that there is a penalty for missing information. An experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of the importance of the missing attribute on the hypothesized inference effect. Hypothetical job candidates were evaluated based on one or two attributes. The correlation between the attributes was varied between groups of subjects as was the importance of one of the attributes. On average, candidates with missing information were rated lower than comparable candidates with complete information and the missing attribute at an average level. |
