The Double Cognitive Bias of Mistakes: A Measurement Method
PublikacjaThere is no learning without mistakes. However, making mistakes among knowledge workers is s�ll seeing shameful. There is a clash between posi�ve a�tudes and beliefs regarding the power of gaining new (tacit) knowledge by ac�ng in new contexts and nega�ve a�tudes and beliefs toward accompanying mistakes that are sources of learning. These contradictory a�tudes create a bias that is doubled by the other shared solid belief...
