The Behavioural Insights Team's recent study reveals that overconfidence is prevalent in the UK, strikingly involving a majority of the public across demographic groups.
This study highlights an alarming trend: 80% of participants exhibited overconfidence, showing that a larger practice of confidence does not align with accurate knowledge.
The gap in overconfidence levels shows generational differences, with 84% of baby boomers displaying it compared to 75% of Gen Z, indicating a cultural phenomenon.
