Metacognition in Refugee Status Decision-Making, 2016-2024 Scoping Review

A 2024 scoping review dataset by Hilary Evans Cameron examines metacognition in decision-making, based on 62 papers published since 2016. The review identified 7,885 articles from PsychInfo, Scopus, and ProQuest databases, with 108 studies included in the final analysis. Findings suggest people's understanding of their own cognitive processes can be incomplete or inaccurate, which has implications for refugee status adjudication.

Use Cases

Strengths

• Based on a systematic search of three major academic databases (PsychInfo, Scopus, ProQuest).
• Includes data from 62 papers and 108 individual studies, providing a substantive review base.
• Explicitly links psychological research to a specific, high-stakes application area (refugee status decision-making).

Limitations
