Abstract
Why do some people trust their gut instincts over logic? It could be that they see those snap decisions as a more accurate reflection of their true selves and therefore are more likely to hold them with conviction, according to research published in Emotion , a journal of the American Psychological Association (APA). “Focusing on feelings as opposed to logic in the decision‐making process led participants to hold more certain attitudes toward and advocate more strongly for their choices,” lead researcher Sam Maglio, Ph.D., an associate professor of marketing at the University of Toronto Scarborough, said in an APA press release. The series of four experiments involved more than 450 participants, including local residents, undergraduate students and online survey‐takers. In each experiment, participants had to choose from a selection of similar items, such as different DVD players, mugs, apartments or restaurants. Participants were asked to make their decision either in a deliberative, logical manner or in an intuitive, gut‐based one. Participants who were instructed to make an intuitive, gut‐based decision were more likely to report that that decision reflected their true selves. “Our research suggests that individuals focusing on their feelings in decision‐making do indeed come to see their chosen options as more consistent with what is essential, true and unwavering about themselves,” said Maglio.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
