Cognitive Reflection Test as a Predictor of Rationality. Empirical Evidence

Monika Czerwonka, Aleksandra Staniszewska

Abstract


The article is the continuation of the literature review study of cognitive reflection test – CRT. After a short theoretical background of the subject, the authors present results of their empirical research conducted among over 500 students. The analyses show that CRT is a good predictor of rational behavior, and results from CRT depend from such determinants as sex or religion.


Keywords
