[2] In other words, humans are more inclined to act as cognitive misers using mental short cuts to make assessments and decisions, about issues and ideas about which they know very little as well as issues of great salience. [9], In order to meet these needs, nave scientists make attributions.

Does a cognitive miser use automatic processing (system 1/intuitive) or controlled processing (or system 2/analytical/)?
