Evidence from multiple studies confirms that psychological factors and cognitive biases systematically influence and skew human quality assessments across various domains.
The retrieved papers include studies directly examining how cognitive biases, human limitations, and psychological factors affect quality assessments (such as medical imaging evaluation and crowdsourced multi-criteria assessments). Papers [9] and [11] provide explicit empirical support for the claim that psychological factors and biases systematically skew quality evaluations. The remaining papers discuss psychological factors in different contexts (like student stress, decision-making in sports, or quality of life) but do not contradict the claim. Thus, the evidence strongly supports the claim.
