The Median Split: Robust, Refined, and Revived (2015, methodology): “The core take-away from Iacobucci et al. (2015) is that when independent variables are uncorrelated, conducting a median split will not increase the likelihood of a Type I error being made. This finding is important, because many researchers developed an opposition to median splits based on the sing”
Implications of Counterfactual Structure for Creative Generation and Analytical Problem Solving (2007, methodology): “In particular, work by Hirt and Markman (1995) and Hirt et al. (2004) has demonstrated how encouraging participants to consider one plausible alternative outcome to a previously explained outcome “breaks the inertia” established by the initial conditional reference frame (Koehler, 1991) and prompts ”
The Functional Theory of Counterfactual Thinking (2008, background): “In addition, the mental simulation of an event may involve a mind-set that fosters the consideration of alternatives (Galinsky & Moskowitz, 2000; Hirt et al., 2004).”
