Decision Journaling for Better Judgment Over Time
Systematically improve your decision-making by journaling your reasoning and reviewing outcomes to enhance future choices.
The exact change
Hagger 2016 showed a significant depletion effect; parole-board data proves judges were depleted; decision-making reliably degrades subsequent judgment.
Hagger 2016 found NO significant depletion effect (d=0.04, 95% CI [-0.07,0.15]); the parole-board study is an observational association; sustained decision-making MAY degrade judgment but this is contested (36-lab null, d=0.06).
Why this is better
Independent fact-check against Hagger et al. 2016 (Perspect Psychol Sci), Danziger et al. 2011 (PNAS), and Vohs et al. 2021.
