Meta-Information, and Time: Factors in Human Decision Making.
Higgins, Margaret
Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v50 n2 p132-39 Feb 1999
Reports results of experiments examining credibility of meta-information. Information provided by organizations of varying levels of credibility was used in decision making tasks. Effects were examined when there (1) was ample time and (2) were severe time constraints. Results confirmed that both source credibility and time influenced decisions, but when time and credibility were analyzed concurrently, effects of source credibility weakened. (Author/AEF)
