gain/loss framing effects  

Definition

  • Amos Tversky and David Kahneman's work in the 1980s on framing (presentation) effects was a stimulus for other researchers to examine how these effects affect medical decision making. Interestingly, the work by Tversky and Kahneman in framing effects was based on consideration of a transmissible infectious disease in a population.
