Routes of Persuasion02:20

Routes of Persuasion

69.2K
Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Social Exchange Theory

41.0K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Social Exchange Theory

As formulated by John Thibaut and Harold Kelley, Social Exchange Theory explains human relationships as economic-like exchanges that maximize rewards and minimize costs. This theory suggests that individuals engage in relationships to gain benefits and reduce burdens, similar to economic transactions. It has been widely applied to various types of relationships, including romantic, professional, and social interactions.Rewards and Costs in RelationshipsRelationship rewards include emotional...

Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation01:19

Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation

3.3K
A complete procedure to test a claim about population standard deviation or population variance is explained here.
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...

Accuracy and Precision01:52

Accuracy and Precision

17.8K
Scientists typically make repeated measurements of a quantity to ensure the quality of their findings and to evaluate both the precision and the accuracy of their results. Measurements are said to be precise if they yield very similar results when repeated in the same manner. A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or the accepted value. Precise values agree with each other; accurate values agree with a true value.  Highly accurate...

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.9K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Pharmacoeconomics
  • Viral Hepatitis Research

Background:

  • Hepatitis C infection can progress to serious liver conditions including cirrhosis and liver cancer.
  • Traditional treatment involved peginterferon and ribavirin.
  • Sofosbuvir represents a new class of direct-acting antivirals for Hepatitis C.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the value-based pricing of sofosbuvir.
  • To analyze the impact of novel drug pricing on healthcare systems.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on Hepatitis C treatments.
  • Economic analysis of drug pricing models.
  • Assessment of healthcare system sustainability in the context of new antiviral therapies.

Main Results:

  • Sofosbuvir demonstrates high efficacy in curing Hepatitis C.
  • The high cost of sofosbuvir raises concerns about accessibility and affordability.
  • Current pricing strategies may not align with long-term healthcare system viability.

Conclusions:

  • The high price of sofosbuvir necessitates a critical examination of value-based pricing.
  • Escalating pharmaceutical costs pose a significant threat to the sustainability of healthcare systems.
  • Further research is needed to balance therapeutic innovation with economic feasibility in Hepatitis C treatment.
