The influence of numerical priming on susceptibility to the framing effect in people with varying numerical abilities

The aim of the study is to test the effect of manipulating information regarding the purpose of the study (medical decision-making vs. statistical thinking) on decision-making using a scenario presenting a fictitious medical dilemma described in the perspective of risk or gain. Furthermore, the level of numerical abilities and perceived risk will be measured. The results may provide information on potential ways to support decision-making in the health domain.
