Resumo(s)
The anchoring effect is the over-reliance on an initial piece of information when making decisions. It is one of
the most pervasive and robust biases. Recently, literature has focused on knowing how influential the
anchoring effect is when applied to information visualization, with studies finding its reproducibility in the
field. Despite the extensive literature surrounding the anchoring effect’s robustness, there is still a need for
research on which individual differences make people more susceptible. We explore how Locus of Control
influences visualization’s ubiquitous and resilient anchoring effect. Locus of Control differentiates individuals
who believe their life depends on their behavior or actions from those who blame outside factors such as
destiny or luck for their life’s outcomes. We focus on the relationship between Locus of Control and the
anchoring effect by exposing subjects to an anchor and analyzing their interaction with a complex visualization. Our results show that the anchoring strategies primed individuals and suggest that the Locus of Control
plays a role in the susceptibility to the anchoring effect.
