The outcome bias is present when the outcome of a decision made by the decision maker extra-proportionately influences the evaluator’s evaluation regarding the decision maker’s quality of decisions. In effort to de-bias the evaluator, formatted information is applied. This treatment does not prove to be significantly reducing the outcome bias. The results also do not provide clear effects from personal characteristics, except for the subject’s risk aversion.
