Resumo: The present work aims to reveal contradictory results obtained on two different fields; particularly from two studies conducted on the description-experience gap field showing that descriptions are neglected when personal experience is available (1,2), and several others conducted on the instructional control field getting to the opposite conclusion (3–8). To account for this contradiction, we hypothesized that participants from the studies of Jessup, Bishara and Busemeyer (1) and Lejarraga and Gonzalez (2) relied on their experience rather than on the descriptions because of the difficult, demanding nature of the probabilistic descriptions they faced. Enriched descriptions were created in our experiment to assess the contribution of this factor to the differential influence of the descriptions in choice behavior. Nonetheless, our hypothesis did not find support in the results and further research is needed to account for the aforementioned contradiction.

Para dar cuenta de esta contradicción, hipotetizamos que los participantes de los estudios de Jessup, Bishara y Busemeyer (1) y Lejarraga y Gonzalez (2) confiaban más en su experiencia que en las descripciones por la naturaleza difícil y demandante de las descripciones probabilísticas que veían. En nuestro experimento fueron creadas descripciones enriquecidas para evaluar la contribución de este factor a la influencia diferencial de las descripciones en la conducta de elección. Sin embargo, nuestra hipótesis no encontró respaldo en los resultados y será necesaria investigación adicional para resolver la contradicción mencionada.Programas de doutoramento FCTPrograma Operacional Potencial Humano do QREN Portugal 2007-2013info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionResearch and Science S.L.Universidade do MinhoViúdez, ÁlvaroKeating, JoséArantes, Joana2017-122017-12-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/1822/70405engViúdez, A., Keating, J. e Arantes, J.
