The “Outside View” is the best predictor of timeframes and happiness (Dan Gilbert 2007)
The reason why people have choosen to study students and what they think about homework is probably because they supposed there were mistakes in average students declarations. Same for studying affective forecast (technical term for ‘predicting future happiness given X’).
I suspect this kind of mistake does not happen in engineering companies when they evaluate next year’s profits given their new technical environment… Therefore no one bothers to study engineers inside views.
