**Methods** A HIT named "A short study on judgment and decision making" was created on mTurk for 600 workers. The number of participants is slightly higher because some workers might not have submitted the HIT and the data were collected on another site. Respondents were told: You will be given a short judgmental task. All in all, it will take about 4 minutes. Please go to *the study* and follow the instructions. "the study" included a link to EFS survey site, where participants were given several unrelated tasks, one of which was the current experiment. On the beginning screen was written: Welcome to the study! You will be given a few questions. Plesase do not use any external sources of information. Screenshots for the comparison and absolute judgment questions can be seen in Files. The exact wording of the questions can be found below. <br><br> **Materials** *Low-anchor group* CQ – Does an average new car cost less or more than $1,000?
