About this research study
The University of Miami is conducting a research study about everyday functioning in people with schizophrenia, schizo-affective or bipolar disorder. Introspective accuracy and bias are important for your everyday functioning.
Researchers are using remote or in-person assessments to examine people's daily activities as well as their ability to evaluate their memory performance.
In this study, we want to understand how both introspective accuracy and bias play a part in our self-awareness and our behaviors.

Additional Information
Introspective Accuracy is your ability to estimate your abilities to accomplish a task.
Bias is a mental short-cut that allows us to make decisions about something or our behavior. It can be positive and helpful or can be based on stereotypes or is based on our previous experiences.
