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.

INTRODUCTION Although practitioners in state health departments are ideally positioned to implement evidence-based interventions, few studies have examined how to build their capacity to do so. The objective of this study was to explore how to increase the use of evidence-based decision-making processes at both the individual and organization levels. METHODS We conducted a 2-arm, group-random...

There is much discussion on medical ethics literature regarding the importance of the patients' right for self-determination. We discuss some of the limitations of patient's autonomy with the aim to draw attention to the ethical complexity of medical decision making in the everyday clinical practice.

During the last two decades or so, there has been a struggle over the patient's role in medical decision-making that is often characterized as a conflict between autonomy and health, between the values of the patient and the values of the physician.

Then I conjecture that...

Researchers of venture capitalists’ decision making must be aware of potential biases and errors associated with self reported data especially in light of this study’s findings that venture capitalists’ lack introspection into the policies they “use” to assess likely profitability. Surprisingly, venture capitalists demonstrate some introspection into the policies they “use” to assess probabilit...
