Abstract
In this paper, we explore the concept of confidence bias in Situation Awareness (SA), i.e., the perception of own situational knowledge, a meta-cognition aspect of SA. Two studies were conducted to evaluate the nature of confidence bias across the present and future status, and across individual and team missions, as well as its relation with performance outcome. The results from both studies were consistent. Participants’ confidence bias was higher in the future than present status, but did not differ significantly across individual and team missions. Participants who had lower confidence bias were found to have better performance.
