Justin Kruger

Social psychologist, first author of kruger-dunning-1999. At cornell-university for the research; the paper’s correspondence note places him at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign by publication.

First author on a paper whose effect is usually spoken of second-name-first, which is a small curiosity of how findings get named. The four-prediction structure and the Study 4 training manipulation — the part of the paper that answers the regression objection and the part most often left out of accounts of it — are the substance he is on the record for here.
