It also tends to shut up people who don’t believe there are subconscious influences on decision-making, and who are always willing to find some excuse for why a supposed “bias” could actually be an example of legitimate decision-making.
Sorry, not this time. I have no problem with preferring things that are associated with me.
If you’re choosing between jobs in the otherwise identical towns of Springfield and Blakeston, How much more would the Springfeild job need to pay for you to take it? Or to evoke another bias: How much money are you willing to lose?
Tough to say, as I haven’t really been in a relevantly similar position w.r.t. being offered similar jobs in different places, nor has money been a primary concern in picking a job.
However, I think I could see myself taking a pay cut (if I could live with it) for working at Blake Enterprises or Blake University or something like that. That would just be awesome. “Hi, this is Thom Blake from Blake Enterprises returning your call...”
