Cover Story: Under the meta-reasoning model, giving up decisions reflects an adaptive metacognitive strategy, where individuals opt out of answering to minimise errors and resource costs. However, do individuals systematically vary in this behaviour, and if so, which variables does it relate to? We examined the factor stability in giving up tendencies across three cognitive tasks, and its relationship with on-task confidence, cognitive ability, decision-making styles, and academic performance. Our results suggest systematic individual differences in giving up, with all giving up tendencies defining one factor. This factor also appears to be adaptive, correlating positively with cognitive ability, rational decision making, and academic performance. Our findings provide a foundation for further research into giving up within meta-reasoning theory. View this paper
