Abstract: A re you "unskilled and unaware of it" in some way? On December 8, 2022, two social psychologists received the 2023 University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award in Psychology for their work on a cognitive bias known as the Dunning-Kruger effect (Association of Psychological Science). This cognitive bias occurs when people who have little experience, skill, or knowledge about an area are asked to consider their competence in that area-they tend to overrate their abilities. Hence, "unskilled and unaware of it."
