Interesting!

A classic result from Kahnemen & Tversky didn't replicate in most subgroups of a country in West #Africa (N > 1000).

But the #framingEffect DID emerge among men on a case about #terrorism in a region that recently suffered a terror attack.

The failed replication.The terrorism case and information about a region that recently experienced terrorism (3 years prior to data collection).The effect in the region impacted by terrorism (vs. other regions).Analysis indicated that the framing effect was found mostly in men, and only on the terrorism case.

I think, they could do better by framing the statement to:

"For each clean room, a child has to suffer hunger for a day."

label in a hotel stating:

"Dear guests, we would like to inform you, that for each, which we do not have to clean, one child in need will receive a free meal through Premier Inn"

Another #framingEffect?

In "The Allure of #Simplicity", Jack Justus, Samantha Wakil and I run three #experiments on people's evaluations of explanations.

Merely labeling explanations 'simpler' or 'simplest' made people more vulnerable to the #baseRateFallacy and the #conjunctionFallacy!

Jack and I present our data and conclusions at #PSA2022 on Saturday.
