“Daddy, can I learn to play the violin(小提琴)?” young Susan asked her father. She was always asking for things and her father was not very pleased. “You cost me a lot of money, Susan, ” he said. “I’ll try very hard.” “All right, ”her father said. “That is what I’ll do. I’ll pay for you to have lessons for six weeks. At the end of six weeks you must play something for me. If you play well, you can have more lessons, or I’ll stop the lessons.” “OK, Daddy, ”Susan said. “That’s fair. ”He soon found a good violin teacher and Susan began her lessons. The teacher was very expensive, but her father kept his promise(诺言).

The six weeks passed quickly. The time came for Susan to play for her father. She went to the living room and said, “I’m ready to play for you, Daddy.” “Fine, Susan, ”her father said. “Begin.” She began to play. She played very badly. She made a terrible noise. Her father had one of his friends with him, and the friend put his hands over his ears. When Susan finished, her father said, “Well done, Susan. You can have more lessons.” Susan ran happily out of the room. Her father’s friend turned to him. “You’ve spent a lot of money, but she still plays very badly,” he said. “Well, that’s true, ”her father said. “But since she started learning to play the violin, I’ve been able to buy five apartments(公寓)in this building very cheaply. In another six weeks I’ll own the whole building!”

Here are two methods that people use to make choices. One method is to compare the options(可选择的物品) with each other and choose the best one. The other is to evaluate each option individually and then pick the best one. Experts are more likely to evaluate the options individually, while ordinary people tend to compare the options.

Researches show that it is easier for people to make choices when they are being compared. Imagine buying a new dictionary. You find out that a particular dictionary has 50,000 words in it. Suppose, though, that you find out that another dictionary only has 25,000 words in it. Now, you know that 50,000 words is a good number for a dictionary to have.

New research shows that when people compare options, they also get more confident in their judgments. To get participants in their studies in a mindset to make comparisons, researchers had people look at a complex picture and write down the similarities and differences between two halves of the picture. Other participants evaluated(评价) the picture without making comparisons. Previous work shows that this technique gets people to make comparisons in later tasks.

After that, participants were shown descriptions of three brands(品牌) of cell phones (labeled Brands A, B and C). They had a chance to study the descriptions. Later, they were shown fourteen of the characteristics they had seen and were asked whether those characteristics belonged to Brand B. With each response, participants were allowed to place a bet between 0 and 10 dollars based on how confident they were in their response. The higher the bet, the more confident the people were that they knew whether the characteristic belonged to Brand B. People who were put in a mindset to make comparisons were more confident in their judgments about the characteristics of the cell phones than people who did not make comparisons. Despite the difference in confidence, the people who made comparisons were not more accurate in their judgments than those who did not make comparisons.

This research suggests that we need to be careful when making decisions. On the one hand, we are quite likely to rely on comparing the options in order to make a choice. On the other hand, those comparisons will increase our feeling of confidence in the decision. So, we need to recognize that at least part of that confidence comes from the way the choice was made.
