What is the Dunning-Kruger Effect? This video explains the psychology behind the Dunning–Kruger Effect, offers specific examples, as well as the 3 main ways that we can overcome this cognitive bias for good. We can describe this phenomenon as the cognitive bias whereby people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability in addition to the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills, and is based off the original study by David Dunning and Justin Kruger. The Dunning–Kruger effect is extremely relevant for various practical matters. It can lead people to make bad decisions, such as choosing a career for which they are unfit or engaging in behavior dangerous for themselves because they are unaware of lacking the necessary skills, or when it affects individuals in the opposite way, lead those qualified to think they are not skilled enough to hold the job. It may also inhibit the affected from addressing their shortcomings to improve themselves.
