Accentuate the positive or accentuate the negative? The literature has been mixed as to how the alternative framing of information in positive or negative terms affects judgments and decisions. We argue that this is because different studies have employed different operational definitions of framing and thus have tapped different underlying processes. We develop a typology to distinguish betwee...

BACKGROUND Neural processes within the medial prefrontal cortex play a crucial role in assessing and integrating emotional and other implicit information during decision-making. Phylogenetically, it was important for the individual to assess the relevance of all kinds of environmental stimuli in order to adapt behavior in a flexible manner. Consequently, we can in principle not exclude that env...

Clearly laying out the multiplicity of existing regulatory instruments that could serve to frame the future of precisionmedicine, the five key ‘ingredients’ listed in the conclusion of Nicol et al., create a recipe that may well ensure the success of such a framing exercise:1 (i) appropriate consideration of safety, efficacy, and patient need; (ii) cost effectiveness; (iii) consistency/equivale...

A framing of an oriented trivial bundle is a homotopy class of sections of the associated oriented frame bundle. This paper is a study of the framings of the tangent bundle τM of a smooth closed oriented 3-manifold M , often referred to simply as framings of M .1 We shall also discuss stable framings and 2-framings of M , that is framings of ε1 ⊕ τM (where ε1 is an oriented line bundle) and 2τM...

Self-monitoring technologies have proliferated in recent years as they offer excellent potential for promoting healthy behaviors. Although these technologies have varied ways of providing real-time feedback on a user's current progress, we have a dearth of knowledge of the framing effects on the performance feedback these tools provide. With an aim to create influential, persuasive performance ...

This paper attempts to determine if consumers realistically behave rationally when making choices under cognitive framing illusions. In addition, we demonstrate how cognitive framing illusions can be utilized by firms to earn profit. The paper furthermore details why the framing 7illusion variable cannot be displayed by itself – to work, it must be shown with the rest of the bargain. The double...

Despite the rapid progresses in IoT research, a general principled software engineering approach for the systematic development of IoT systems and applications is still missing. In this article, by synthesizing form the state of the art in the area, we attempt at framing the key concepts and abstractions that revolve around the design and development of IoT systems and applications, and that co...

Numerous studies have demonstrated the robustness of the framing effect in a variety of contexts, especially in medical decision making. Unfortunately, research is still inconsistent as to how so many variables impact framing effects in medical decision making. Additionally, much attention should be paid to the framing effect not only in hypothetical scenarios but also in clinical experience.

In this paper, we investigate framing in the case of an imam Switzerland. We conducted a qualitative content analysis 175 articles from Swiss newspapers and public broadcasting websites German French to examine how Bekim Alimi, Wil, Switzerland, was portrayed news media 2015–2019. Powerful / or prominent actors who made effort, journalists, as well object debate, contribute frame building. iden...
