A Pragmatic Account of the Weak Evidence Effect.

Meanwhile, for participants who expected speakers to “hedge” and not necessarily show the strongest evidence first (238 participants, or 33% of the sample), no weak evidence effect was found ( m = 50.1, group difference = −15.4, post-hoc t (367) = −6.3, p < 0.001.) We found only a marginally significant asymmetry in slider bias, p = 0.056, with short-biased participants giving slightly larger endorsements ( m = 1.6 slider points) across the board.
