My JMP studies to what extent beliefs can be manipulated across the possible facts that a boundedly rational agent needs to interpret. I provide a full characterization of the constraint that the persuader faces by strategically providing interpretations of facts. 5/

Sometimes we might hold inconsistent interpretations. Another example: a student might think “if it is a good grade, I am smart; if it is a bad grade, it must be bad luck.” Ever heard this? 2/

But then, the new fact, together with our previous knowledge, drives the interpretation we use to form beliefs. As a result, we pick different stories to make sense of different facts without realizing this inconsistency! 4/

Do financial incentives crowd out "good" behavior? Our next job market candidate, Florian Schneider, asks this question in the context of COVID vaccinations -- good for the people to get vaxed, but also good for others (fewer ICU visits, slight reduction in transmissibility)

Though beneficial for a persuader, exposure to conflicting ways of interpreting reality could lead to inevitable polarization regardless of what happens. I also discuss other important applications, such as conflict of interest in finance, lobbying, and self-persuasion. 7/

Typically we think of persuasion as manipulating the information observed by the agent. I show that the scope of persuasion is large even if the persuader cannot control, or does not even know, the available information the agent uses to make a choice. 6/

Using an experiment, we decompose the effect of contingent thinking on belief updating into two components: (1) hypothetical thinking (updating on a piece of not-yet-observed information) & (2) contrast reasoning (comparing multiple contingencies during the updating process). 5/

Our results show that contingent thinking increases deviations from Bayesian updating, both in terms of absolute distance and more underinference. However, this effect can be attributed to hypothetical thinking rather than contrast reasoning. 6/

Not only hypothetical thinking leads to less accurate beliefs, but it also worsens how consistent the reported beliefs are within tasks and across contingencies. Contrast reasoning offsets the impact of hypothetical thinking depending on the characteristics of the information. 7/

While, according to the Bayesian benchmark, the revision of beliefs should not depend on whether individuals engage with additional data contingently and most of the experts we surveyed expected no difference between these conditions, this study shows that it does. 4/

We distinguish this from what we call conditional belief updating: the doctor observes the test result and then assesses the updated beliefs only for that realized and relevant outcome. Do we process the same information in the same manner in these circumstances? 3/
