Table 7.
Average score of task difficulty across groups at different stages (before and after) in Phase 2
| Difficulty Rating | AllocHum_LocHum | AllocHum_LocSys | AllocSys_LocHum | AllocSys_LocSys | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before Phase 2 | M = 2.43 | SD = 1.15 | M = 2.37 | SD = 1.14 | M = 2.97 | SD = 0.92 | M = 2.81 | SD = 0.75 |
| After Phase 2 | M = 2.12 | SD = 0.8 | M = 2.12 | SD = 0.95 | M = 2.43 | SD = 0.15 | M = 2.31 | SD = 1.07 |
Rating scale: 1 (very easy) to 5 (very difficult). All groups rated the difficulty of Phase 2 as easier after they performed it compared to before, indicating an initial overestimation of task difficulty
