SummaryThree preregistered human-subjects studies (n=923) examine how to visualize qualitative confidence alongside statistical confidence intervals in line-chart forecasts. The work compares text, icons, and integrated encodings such as color, transparency, and a blurred-stroke design, finding that non-textual methods can shape non-expert decision making and yielding design guidelines.
Why it mattersPreregistered design study with a large sample and replicable findings on which visual encodings for qualitative confidence actually shift non-expert decisions, plus concrete guidelines for forecast chart designers.
