BIAS OF THE WEEK

Anchoring

Participants in the experiment were asked if a tech item’s price was higher or lower than a specific given value (anchor), before estimating the price themselves. 

A high anchor led to significantly higher estimates than a low anchor.

We rely heavily on the first information we receive.
