School of Business and Management Department of Management 189 Judgment and Decision Making in Policy Supervisor: HAGMANN David / MGMT Student: WONG Chung Wung Carlo / QFIN Course: UROP 1100, Spring UROP 2100, Summer This progress report presents an ongoing experiment investigating the impact of modifying interview formats on undergraduate admissions interviews. The research question is formulated through anecdotal feedback from previous interviewers and focuses on how interviewers evaluate the overall conduction of the interviews. A pilot run was conducted on the admissions interviews for Gaokao applicants. We introduce an alternate interview format alongside existing formats used by the admissions department, and interviewers will have the flexibility to choose the preferred format for each interview. While data collection is pending, it will be collected via feedback surveys and written notes from interviewers, along with limited data collection on social media. The findings will provide valuable insights for optimising undergraduate admissions processes despite the experimental constraints due to the potential impact of evaluating candidates. Judgment and Decision Making in Policy Supervisor: HAGMANN David / MGMT Student: XU Jingxie / ECON Course: UROP 1100, Spring This project aims to enhance the survey design for an ongoing research project led by Professor David Hagmann. While previous studies have produced promising results, the reliability of the data collection process can be improved through a retest with a refined survey design. The purpose of this project is to develop a more engaging survey that can help mitigate the impact of technical issues on user experiences, thereby improving the reliability of the data collected. The key steps involve interpreting the research paper manuscript, visualizing the survey structure, diagnosing potential issues with the current questionnaire, and addressing those issues. The main outcomes include creating distinct questionnaires for three sequential studies and refining the interactive game component embedded within. These improvements are expected to boost participant engagement experiences and enhance the quality of data collected, ultimately strengthening the insights gained from the ongoing research project.
