Individuals can be asked to make preoutcome judgments about future events (eg, a scheduled athletic contest) or past events of which they are ignorant (eg, whether Benjamin Franklin was fired from his office as Postmaster General of the Colonies). In addition, they can be asked to indicate the likelihood of possible outcomes after outcome information is provided. For postoutcome judgments they are asked to rate the possible outcomes as they would have if they had not been given outcome knowledge. The general finding of previous investigations is that Ss are unable or unwilling to ignore outcome knowledge when making postoutcome judgments as revealed by the fact that postoutcome judgments are better than preoutcome judgments. The inability to ignore outcome knowledge can be labeled the" knew-it-all-along" effect. Two experiments were conducted with 179 undergraduates to assess the reliability, generality, and explanations for this effect by varying outcome knowledge, instructions, materials, and the presence or absence of preoutcome judgments. Results support the reliability and generality of the phenomenon. Preoutcome judgments reduced the size of the" knew-it-all-along" effect, but only when Ss were encouraged to remember their preoutcome judgments while making postoutcome judgments.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
