The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

6.1K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

6.6K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Pareto Chart00:52

Pareto Chart

6.9K
A Pareto chart is a bar graph or a combination of both line and bar graphs. The bar lengths represent the individual values or the frequency, while the lines represent the cumulative total values. In this chart, the longest bars are arranged on the left and the shortest bars on the right, which makes it easier to read and interpret the data. It can also be called a Pareto diagram or Pareto analysis.
The Pareto chart is named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who described the Pareto...

Causality in Epidemiology01:21

Causality in Epidemiology

686
Causality or causation is a fundamental concept in epidemiology, vital for understanding the relationships between various factors and health outcomes. Despite its importance, there's no single, universally accepted definition of causality within the discipline. Drawing from a systematic review, causality in epidemiology encompasses several definitions, including production, necessary and sufficient, sufficient-component, counterfactual, and probabilistic models. Each has its strengths and...

Pie Chart01:04

Pie Chart

14.3K
A pie chart (or a pie graph) is a circular graphical chart or a pictorial representation of categorical data. It is divided into slices of pie each indicating numerical proportions. It is also used to show the relative sizes of data in a single chart.
In a pie chart, the central angle, the arc length of each slice, and the area are directly proportional to the quantity or percentage it represents. Some real-world examples that can be depicted using pie charts include marks obtained by students...

Distribution and Dispersion00:54

Distribution and Dispersion

22.2K
To understand intra-specific interactions in populations, scientists measure the spatial arrangement of species individuals. This geographic arrangement is known as the species distribution or dispersion. Highly territorial species exhibit a uniform distribution pattern, in which individuals are spaced at relatively equal distances from one another. Species that are highly tied to particular resources, such as food or shelter, tend to concentrate around those resources, and thus exhibit a...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic presented a unique context to study moral reasoning influenced by crisis exposure and proximity.
  • Examined judgments of Italians and Germans on pandemic-related behaviors affecting health and societal matters.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how personal, societal, and temporal proximity affect moral reasoning during a crisis.
  • To understand public perception of health and societal decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • An observational online survey conducted over four months across three assessment periods.
  • Assessed participants' judgments on seven real-life scenarios involving distributive shortages during the pandemic.

Main Results:

  • No consistent answering pattern observed across all scenarios; participants often used extreme scale values for clear opinions.
  • A tendency to select a mean value (deferring choice) was noted for triage and pandemic restriction scenarios.
  • Moral reasoning differed significantly between Italians and Germans, and was influenced by assessment period, fear levels, and age.

Conclusions:

  • The study utilized realistic scenarios, addressing criticisms of artificiality in moral research and enhancing external validity.
  • Provides insights into laypeople's perspectives on public health measures and societal decision-making during a major crisis.
