Show PostHow should environments be designed to be transparent about the consequences of one’s actions? Our findings suggest that reducing opportunities for ignorance and highlighting how prescribing affects society by making collective consequences salient supports more appropriate decisions. (5/5)
Show PostIn Experiment 2, we made the collective costs—impact of antibiotic prescribing on patients and society—salient. This reduced the effect: Healthcare professionals still immediately prescribed more when consequences were hidden, but not significantly more than under default diagnostic certainty. (4/5)
