"Surprise, surprise: People jump to conclusions without having all of the information, new study finds"

Quote:
Most people who dive into an argument feel like they have all of the relevant information they need to take a stance. But new research suggests that people tend to assume they have the full story — even when they don’t.


Duh!

They certainly do. It's amazing how many people come to conclusions about people that they don't know.

I'm pretty good about jumping to conclusions, but my conclusions are never wrong.

They had to do a study to figure that out?

I feel like not doing a study and just announcing their conclusion would really reinforce their hypothesis.
