摘要
The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT; Frederick, 2005) is a three-item performance-based measure designed to assess one's tendency to over-ride automatic responses in favor of further reflection. Although the test has been widely cited, and predicts varied outcomes, little is known about the sex differences observed in the initial report. This study found a 0.37 standard deviation difference between men and women in a large adult sample of respondents. This difference could be explained entirely by differences in quantitative self-efficacy. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
