3. 2. The Law of Small Numbers in Skewed Hiring Distributions: Consequences for Perceived Ethnicity Discrimination

   Master-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för psykologi (PSY)

   Författare :Oscar Bauer; Castiau Lucie; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Law of small numbers; perceived ethnic discrimination; prototypical discrimination; observing discrimination; subjective probability.;

   Sammanfattning : The law of small numbers bias is a representativeness heuristic that often leads individuals to draw extensive conclusions from small samples while underestimating the generalizability in larger ones. This study investigated whether individuals overestimate perceived discrimination in small employment samples and underestimate it in large ones. LÄS MER

4. 3. He's on Fire? Strategic Decisions and Allocation Adjustments Under the Hot Hand Fallacy

5. 4. Upplevd könsdiskriminering : Urvalsgruppsstorlek och prototypers påverkan vid sannolikhetsbedömningar för olika utfall vid rekrytering

   Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för psykologi (PSY)

   Författare :Jonas Jansson; Maria Rensfelt; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Prototypes; perceived discrimination; the law of small numbers; gender bias; probability assesment; Prototyper; upplevd diskriminering; the law of small numbers; gender bias; sannolikhetsbedömning;

   Sammanfattning : Vad avgör om en situation uppfattas som diskriminerande? Studiens syfte är att undersöka om människors uppfattning om diskriminering påverkas av vår intuitiva förmåga att göra sannolikhetsbedömningar. Undersökningen sker utifrån teorin om the law of small numbers det vill säga att vi överskattar ett litet urvals representativitet för den större populationen och teorin om att prototyper påverkar vår syn på diskriminering.

7. 5. Black Hole Dynamics in Stellar Clusters

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Författare :Markus Strickert; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Black Holes; Globular Clusters; Dynamics; Intermediate-mass black holes; Simulations; Physics and Astronomy;

   Sammanfattning : Star clusters can harbour many exotic objects, including black holes (BHs), X-ray binaries and blue straggler stars. In dense stellar environments like globular clusters (GCs), two-body relaxation drives their dynamical evolution, where gravitational interactions between stars strive to equalize their kinetic energy in the cluster.
