Offered this choice, most of the subjects preferred certainty, selecting Program A. But when the identical outcomes were framed in terms of lives lost, the subjects behaved differently.
In addition, it should be noted that although the study is based in a Welsh context, the outcomes are framed within a global scale, providing transferable insights.
Although these results only lend indirect support for the effectiveness of the local change team model, they should be interpreted within the context of the larger HIV-STIC study findings and per the model of implementation outcomes that framed this study and analysis (see Figure 1).
Which treatment people favored depended on whether the outcomes were framed in terms of lives saved or lost.
Other factors, such as a sense of agency (Tricomi, Delgado, & Fiez, 2004), the delay to receive a reward (Kable & Glimcher, 2007; McClure, Laibson, Loewenstein, & Cohen, 2004), and whether an outcome is framed as a loss or a gain (Tom et al., 2007), also affect the degree to which the striatum is activated.
Despite growing use of simulated modalities and positive evaluations, relatively few simulation studies have used a theoretically driven evaluation within which intended outcomes can be framed.
However, if we choose to integrate technology into teaching practices that are guided by these principles, then our choices of technological tools should reflect considered outcomes that are framed in the context of what we want our students to be, rather than what we want them to know and to do.
Surgeons often underestimate recovery times because their outcome measures are framed by surgical success and not necessarily by a patient's full return to a normal physiologic state and sense of well-being.
Interest itself is being strongly associated with positive emotional experiences and an important predictor for learning outcomes irrespectively of being framed as a state or a trait construct.
The relative importance of immediate versus future health outcomes differed substantially when framed as either medication harms as opposed to therapeutic benefits.
