The way information is presented (framed) influences decision making significantly has been illustrated in various studies (Tversky & Kahneman, 1981; Levin, Schneider, & Gaeth, 1998; Bigman, Cappella, & Hornik, 2010). This study is about different types of framing effects in the context of medical situations. The various framing effects studied were Risky choice, Attribute and Goal. Fifty undergraduate students were presented with all the above framing situations individually. Their ratings and choices were recorded. The analysis of data showed that two frames viz Risky choice and Attribute were found to be significant with size effect Cohen's d 0.72 and 0.61 respectively. Similar findings were found by Pengetal. (2013). Tversky and Kahneman (1981) explained the Risky choice framing effect in terms of the certainty effect. Certainty effect is the tendency to seek risk when the outcome is less acceptable. Levin and Gaeth (1988) suggested that the framing effect in the Attribute type occurs because favorable characterizations produce favourable associations leading to changes in decisions. These framing effects thus have major implications for decision-making in medical situations including critical illnesses/ diseases.Keywords

Various studies have shown that the way information is framed (positively vs negatively, gain vs loss) influences decision-making (Tversky & Kahneman, 1981; Plous, 1993; Kühberger, 1998). People favoured the option which was framed positively (gain) over the option which was framed negatively (loss) though the situation was the same. However, Wong and Kwong (2005) based on a series of experiments, found that it was the ‘number size’ that was effective, and not the positive vs. negative framing of the situations. It suggests that ‘number size framing effect’ is having better explanatory power in understanding decision-making. Considering criticality of medical decision-making, the present study involving 50 college students investigated the number size framing effect in decision-making in medical situations. It was found that participants chose an option which was in small number size difference more significantly compared to when it was in large number size difference (effect size Cohen’s d= 0.8). A study by Peng et al. (2013) has found number size effects more robust than other framing effects like risky choice, attribute and goal. Wong and Kwong (2005) demonstrated the number size framing effect using an example of basketball players’ free-throw performance and choosing a home theatre system. When the difference in an attribute is expressed in small numbers, it appears to be more significant than when it is expressed in large numbers. Further studies could be conducted in the context of various types of medical situations (diseases, treatment options, age, side effects, etc.).Keywords

This study explored whether flow is related to eudaimonic well-being. It involved 233 college students (M = 157, F = 76). The tests used were the questionnaire for eudaimonic well-being (Waterman, Schwartz, Zamboanga, Ravert, Williams, Agocha, Kim, & Donnellan, 2010) and the flow state scale (Jackson & Marsh, 1996). A clear positive relationship was established between eudaimonic well-being and flow (r = 0.41, p< 0.01). The regression analysis showed that flow explained 17% of the variance in eudaimonic well-being. In conclusion, flow plays a significant role in the eudaimonic well-being of college students.Keywords
