- Desire for status is positively associated with overconfidence: A replication and extension of study 5 in C. Anderson, Brion, et al. (2012), Mayiwar et al. (2026). Outcome recorded: successful.
We found support for the status-enhancement hypothesis: Desire for status had a positive association with overconfidence using both the original measure of desire for status (β = 0.19, 95% [0.09, 0.28]) and the alternative measure (β = 0.31, 95% [0.22, 0.39]).
