Tversky and Kahneman – Anchoring Bias
Tversky and Kahneman aimed to investigate whether the order of numbers in a row would affect how participants
would estimate the value of the number if they were multiplied. The sample was made up of high school students
and there were two conditions. One, the “ascending” conditions were presented with 1 X 2 X 3 X 4 X 5 X 6 X 7 X 8
and had to estimate the total value in 5 seconds. The second condition, the “descending” one was presented with 8
X 7 X 6 X 5 X 4 X 3 X 2 X 1 and also had 5 seconds to estimate the value. The results were that the ascending group
had a median estimate of 512 whereas the descending condition had a median estimate of 2250. The actual value
was 40,032.
