Are the unskilled really that unaware? An alternative explanation

Publication |
2007

Abstract

In a series of articles and manuscripts Dunning, Kruger and their collaborators argued that the unskilled lack the metacognitive ability to realize their incompetence. We propose that the unskilled-and-unaware problem (rather than being one of biased judgements) is one of unbiased judgements based on biased information.
