Answer 1

Answer:

Information sufficiency threshold

Explanation:

information sufficiency is the amount of information needed by people to deal adequately with a given risk in their own lives

The sufficiency threshold is an individual's desired confidence level, or the point at which individuals feel capable of coping with  their current motives. Typically, individuals will put sufficient cognitive effort until their level of confidence reaches their sufficiency threshold.

The sufficiency principle is based on two levels of confidence: the level of confidence an individual has in a judgment and the level of confidence an individual desires in a judgment.
