TL;DR: This paper showed that compensation specialists were not able to accurately estimate their own decision-making policies, as demonstrated by the fact that rationally generated assessments of cue importance were significantly different from their actual policies, and meta-analyses demonstrated that the variation in policies across decision makers could not be attributed to statistical artifacts or any moderators associated with the demographic data.
Abstract: Compensation specialists made two survey-sample decisions in a simulated wage survey. Policy capturing analyses indicated that most specialists relied extensively on two of the available cues and consistently applied that policy across judgments. They were not able to accurately estimate their own decision-making policies, as demonstrated by the fact that rationally generated assessments of cue importance were significantly different from their actual policies. Finally, meta-analyses demonstrated that the variation in policies across decision makers could not be attributed to statistical artifacts or any moderators (e.g., salary-survey experience or industry) associated with the demographic data
