The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) is among the most common and well-known instruments for measuring the propensity to engage reflective processing, in the context of the dual-process theory of high-level cognition. There is robust evidence that men perform better than women on this test—but we should be wary to conclude that men are more likely to engage in reflective processing than women. We consider several possible loci for the gender difference in CRT performance, and use mathematical modeling to show, across two studies, that the gender difference in CRT performance is more likely due to women making more mathematical mistakes (partially explained by their greater mathematics anxiety) than due to women being less likely to engage reflective processing. We argue as a result that we need to use gender-fair variants of the CRT, both to improve the quality of our instruments and to fulfill our social responsibility as scientists.

焦虑引起的误判,不仅仅是直觉的差异抑制,解释了认知反思中的性别差距

在高级认知的双过程理论的背景下,认知反射测试 (CRT) 是最常见和最知名的测量参与反射处理倾向的工具之一。有强有力的证据表明,男性在这项测试中的表现优于女性——但我们应该谨慎地得出结论,男性比女性更有可能进行反思。我们考虑了 CRT 性能性别差异的几个可能位点,并使用数学模型表明,在两项研究中,CRT 性能的性别差异更有可能是由于女性犯了更多数学错误(部分原因是她们更大的数学焦虑)而不是因为女性不太可能进行反思性处理。因此,我们认为我们需要使用 CRT 的性别公平变体,
