We aimed to identify the ways in which coloring cells affected decision-making in the context of binary-colored multi-attribute tables, using eye movement data. In our black-white attribute tables, the value of attributes was limited to two (with a certain threshold for each attribute) and each cell of the table was colored either black or white on the white background. We compared the two natu...

Our aim was to investigate whether the association between race and aortic stiffness could be explained by differences in the primary risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed data from 11 472 adults (mean age, 51.9±8.9; 53.8% female) self-reported as white (n=6173), brown (n=3...

Racial inequality, particularly between blacks and whites, long has been of major concern in the United States. This inequality may take a number of forms, for example, with regard to schooling, housing, health, employment options, and income. In this paper we estimate how much of the ‘observed’ racial inequality in age-specific death rates in the Retirement History Survey can be attributed to ...
