Miscalibration in predicting one's performance

Date: 01/04/2021 Author(s): Isabelle Engeler; Gerald Häubl Document type: Article in Journal (refereed) When people predict their performance, they can be miscalibrated in two ways—they may mispredict how they will perform relative to others (misplacement) and how they will perform in absolute terms (misestimation).
