Louis R. Bodkin – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Excessive drinking is commonplace among college students and can lead to numerous negative consequences.

Past research…

Health risks, when presented as ratios (e.g., two out of seven people), are challenging to understand, but visual displays can foster accurate understanding. We conducted three experiments to test how characteristics of numbers (Experiment 1), icon arrays (Experiments 1, 2, and 3), and number lines (Experiments 1 and 3) influenced people's ability…

Heard, Claire Louise; Rakow, Tim; Spiegelhalter, David – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018

Alternatively, speed-of-ageing metaphors present this as adding 2.5 years to one's life expectancy--equating to 1 extra hour each day--or taking 2.5 years off one's "effective age." Few studies compare these (increasingly popular) metaphors. Study 1…
