Abstract : Two studies examined the effects of information variables on judges' uncertainty about the accuracy of their judgments. In the first study results suggested that the degree of disorderliness of information was related to the degree of judgmental uncertainty but that control of the timing of information reception was not. The second study affirmed the effects of disorderliness and showed a strong effect of the reliability of unreliability of the information's source. Unreliable sources produced greater uncertainty. These results are discussed in terms of their implications for contingency theory concepts of environmental uncertainty verses decision theoretic concept of individual uncertainty.
