Action bias

• ... that football goalkeepers dive too much during penalty kicks? Source: The analysis of 286 penalty kicks in various soccer games in top leagues and championships worldwide shows that while the utility-maximizing behavior for goalkeepers is to stay in the goal's center during the kick, in 93.7% of the kicks the goalkeepers chose to jump to their right or left. This non-optimal behavior suggests that a bias in goalkeepers' decision making might be present. According to our hypothesis, the reason for this non-optimal behavior is "action bias"
