image: Personality, stereotypes, and behavioral attributes of reasonable vs. rational persons. (A) Difference in attribution of personality characteristics to reasonable versus rational persons. (B) Difference in cardinal stereotype dimensions of agency and communion ascribed to reasonable versus rational persons, along with ascription of selfishness. (C) Expectation of maximizing (alternative search; goal of choosing the best) and satisficing behavior to reasonable versus rational agents. (A) to (C) show violin plots with density distribution of difference scores, 25% median, 75% quantiles, boxplots, estimated means, and bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals. Scores above zero indicate greater attribution to reasonable persons. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the January 8th, 2020, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by I. Grossmann at University of Waterloo in Waterloo, ON, Canada, and colleagues was titled, "Folk standards of sound judgment: Rationality Versus Reasonableness." view more
