Article Abstract
Overconfidence is one of the most ubiquitous biases in the social sciences, but the evidence regarding its overall costs and benefits is mixed. To test the possibility that overconfidence might yield important relative benefits that offset its absolute costs, we conducted an experiment ( = 298 university students) in which pairs of participants bargained over the unequal allocation of a prize that was earned through a joint effort. We manipulated confidence using a binary noisy signal to investigate the causal effect of negotiators' beliefs about their relative contribution to the outcome of the negotiation. Our results provide evidence that high levels of confidence lead to relative benefits (how much one earns compared with one's partner) but absolute costs (how much money one receives overall). These results suggest that overconfidence creates an inefficient equilibrium whereby overconfident negotiators benefit over their partners even as they bring about joint losses.

Enhancing laparoscopic surgery training: a comparative study of traditional models and automated error detection system.
BMC Med Educ
May 2025
Department of Medical Simulation Center, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Although beneficial for patients through its minimally invasive nature, laparoscopic surgery creates unique training challenges due to limited instrument maneuverability, absence of stereovision, and inadequate real-time feedback. Traditional training models rely on subjective instructor evaluations, which are time-consuming and lack objective error detection. This study evaluates the efficacy of an Automated Error Detection System (AEDS), designed to provide real-time feedback on mistouch error counts, in improving laparoscopic skill acquisition compared to conventional methods.

Background: Food allergies are a growing public health problem, and young children in preschools and early childhood education centers face a significant risk of in-school allergic reactions. Food allergies also disproportionately affect children in underserved communities.
Objective: To assess food allergy knowledge and preparedness at federally funded Head Start Centers, the LEARN (Learning Educator's Anaphylaxis Response Needs) Early Project was designed.
Two decades of metacognitive training for psychosis: successes, setbacks, and innovations.

Introduction: Schizophrenia is among the most debilitating mental health conditions. While antipsychotic medication represents the primary pillar of treatment, guidelines now also recommend psychotherapy. Metacognitive Training (MCT) has emerged over the past 20 years as a novel approach that addresses the cognitive biases involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.

Purpose: While deep learning methods have shown great promise in improving the effectiveness of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis by detecting suspicious lesions from trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS), they must overcome multiple simultaneous challenges. There is high heterogeneity in tissue appearance, significant class imbalance in favor of benign examples, and scarcity in the number and quality of ground truth annotations available to train models. Failure to address even a single one of these problems can result in unacceptable clinical outcomes.

Background: Online malicious attempts such as scamming continue to proliferate across the globe, aided by the ubiquitous nature of technology that makes it increasingly easy to dupe individuals. This study aimed to identify the predictors for online fraud victimization focusing on Personal, Environment and Behavior (PEB).
Methods: Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) was used as a guide in developing the PEB framework.
