The Ho et al.(2002) experiment allows participants to avoid ambiguity by selecting a project with an unambiguous outcome, In tasks where ambiguity cannot be avoided, such as a required performance evaluation, VDZ argue that individuals ignore or discount ambiguous information to cope with perceived threats.

This leads to the following hypotheses:
