Impressed by numbers: offsetting the uncertainty in financial decision-making by over-relying on seemingly exact information - Risk vs uncertainty frame
No full textOur current society is riddled with particularly high levels of uncertainty. Despite this, there seems to be a consensus that giving a precise forecast which is unlikely to occur is preferable to admitting that a precise prediction is not possible under uncertainty (Manski, 2011). We seek to address the effects of masking uncertainty in the context of investment decisions made by consumers. We test whether consumers are more likely to invest in funds which better communicate the uncertainty if they are exposed to information which depicts financial markets as a context of uncertainty, where outcomes and associated probabilities cannot be known in advance, rather than a context of risk where they can
Communicating uncertainties relating to the effectiveness of a COVID-19 vaccine
No full textThe effectiveness of a vaccine is not always known for certain, particularly in the context of COVID-19 where vaccines are being developed rapidly. It is unclear to what extent and how these uncertainties should be communicated to the public. This study will test whether communicating these uncertainties affects people’s trust and intention to get vaccinated, both at the time of communication and later on when people find out conflicting information
