Individual Differences in Graph Literacy: Overcoming Denominator Neglect in Risk Comprehension
TL;DR: In this article, an experiment was conducted to investigate whether individual differences in graph literacy affect the extent to which people benefit from visual aids (icon arrays) designed to reduce a common judgment bias (i.e., denominator neglect) that focuses on numerators in ratios while neglecting denominators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Visual Aids to Improve Communication of Risks about Health: A Review
TL;DR: A series of studies are reviewed investigating the extent to which denominator neglect can be attenuated by using visual aids; and a factor that moderates the effectiveness of such aids (i.e., graph literacy); and theoretical and prescriptive implications are discussed.
Order Effects in Moral Judgment
TL;DR: Wiegmann et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effect of the temporal order in which moral scenarios are presented and found that only judgments of actions that are normally regarded as morally acceptable are affected by the order of presentation, and this is only the case for dilemmas immediately preceded by a scenario where the proposed action was judged as morally unacceptable.
Journal ArticleDOI
