Samenvatting
Can the judgments of experienced subjects utilizing complex information be captured adequately by a theory that postulates that information dimensions are processed in order to dimension salience, and predicts that violations of additivity will be observed only with the less salient dimensions? To answer this question, clinical psychologists and graduate students rated realistic, but hypothetical, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory profiles and made pair- comparison judgments about relative scale (dimension) importance.
