The framing effect

The framing effect

The framing effect is a cognitive bias where people decide on options based on whether they are presented in a positive or negative way. Do you prefer your yoghurt with 10% fat or 90% fat-free?

Knowing about the framing effect is vital. It is one of the most significant biases in decision making and particularly important in health care and financial decisions.

Framing and decision making

Framing and decision making

The framing effect happens when decision-makers choose opposite solutions for identical problems based on how the issues are presented to them.

For example:

  • Time and money management: A study found that 93% of students registered early when presented with a penalty fee for late registration, vs 67% doing so when it was presented as a discount for early registration.
  • Economics: More people will support an economic policy where the employment rate is highlighted (10% employment rate) than if the unemployment rate is emphasised (90% unemployment rate).

How to manage the framing effect

  • Consider the current frame: Be aware of marketing language when you are shopping for a product.
  • Reverse the frame: Take the current frame and state it in the opposite way.
  • Reframe the options: There may be more than two alternatives. Would it result in a loss, a gain, or a neutral impact?
  • Think like an outsider: It can help you to be as impartial as possible. What if the decision did not personally impact you?
  • Take your time: Studies show that thinking fast increases your chance of falling prey to the framing effect.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
