Chick, Christina F.; Reyna, Valerie F.; Corbin, Jonathan C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Theoretical accounts of risky choice framing effects assume that decision makers interpret framing options as extensionally equivalent, such that if 600 lives are at stake, saving 200 implies that 400 die. However, many scholars have argued that framing effects are caused, instead, by filling in pragmatically implied information. This linguistic…
