Why and when narcissists dismiss advice (2015, background): “The anticipation of having to justify actions to others often changes both the way people reach decisions (i.e., the process of making decisions) and the outcome of the decisions themselves (Lerner & Tetlock, 1999; Tetlock, 1985).”
Strengthening the Financial Reporting System: Can Audit Committees Deliver? (2010, unknown): “Accountability theory suggests that accountable individuals consider more information, think more deeply, engage in more critical and less biased evaluations of decision choices, and consider the preferences of those they are accountable to in their decisions (Tetlock et al., 1989; Lerner and Tetloc”
