Components of the clinician's confidence.
Judgmental tasks in person perception are related to the degree of confidence of the performing clinician. 10 judges were exposed to increments of video and/or case history information about 10 patients and were asked to rate the patients' characteristics after each phase as well as to indicate how confident they felt about their ratings. The results suggest that the level of confidence varies according to the information available (as found in other research). the item judged, and the personality of the judge. The impact of the mode of information did not become sufficiently clear.
