ABSTRACT
T here is good evidence that intuitive judgments can be superior to or at least as good as deliberative judgments even if one is to take objective criteria as a benchmark (Plessner & Czenna, chap. 15, this volume). In this chapter, however, we deal with the limitations of intuitive judgments. We approach this topic by considering the sampling processes that have been proposed to underlie social judgments (Fiedler, 2000). From this perspective, we address the following question: When should people trust their intuition and when not?
