2025-07-18

Abstract excerpt

Belief was defined by William James as “the psychological process or function of cognizing reality”, and the recent philosophical literature has emphasized that there are two types of belief: categorical and graded. The relationship between these two belief types is complex, and it is often assumed that the degrees of graded belief reflect confidence. However, this claim has not yet been addressed empirically.
