Premise typicality weakens diversity effect in decision-making, impacting societal judgments.
The study looked at how different types of information affect our ability to make conclusions about categories. They found that when we have more diverse information, our conclusions are weaker. This effect is influenced by how typical the information is. The researchers used brain activity measurements to see when typicality affects our conclusions. They found that typical information weakens the diversity effect. This suggests that our brains default to considering diverse information first, then adjust based on how typical the information is.
