As a Chinese person, it’s so exciting to see people from outside China engaging with the stories in Zhuang Zi! Your drawings are such a creative interpretation—thank you for sharing this!

(7/7) I want to express my gratitude to Johanna K. Falbén, @lcastillo.bsky.social, Jake Spicer, Jian-Qiao Zhu, Cheng Stella Qian, Nick Chater, and @asanborn.bsky.social for their irreplaceable contribution to this project!

(6/7) In summary, our results suggest:

- 🎛️ Adjustment for the assumption of uniform distortions by utility in probability representations;
- 🎯 Explicit repeated mental simulation could promote more accurate probability assessments in everyday life.

(5/7) We analysed the data at both the group and individual levels and found:

- Group level: People are optimistic;
- Individual level: The majority remained unbiased; 🤯
- People are optimistic if they can only do the task once;
- People start from a smaller or more probable value if repeated.

(4/7) We manipulated the domains (gain, loss, or neutral), the outcome distributions (equally or unequally distributed), the numbers of outcomes (two, six, or eleven), the repetition of the task (one-off or repeatedly), and the task instructions (imagine, predict, judge the probability).

(3/7) To investigate the mental simulation process, we employed a method called random generation. In this method, participants are asked to imagine playing a gamble and then utter the imagined outcome.

(2/7) People often simulate uncertain events in their heads to assess risk, but do the values of the possible outcomes distort these simulations? Prior experimental findings offer conflicting predictions about how utility may bias this mental sampling process.
