“…This is consistent with Milch et al ( 2009 ), who showed no significant differences between group and individual decision-making among adults when faced with life problems. In particular, the world is now under the threat of COVID-19, which may lead individuals to be more cautious about life-related risky choices, and this attitude is more stable and less susceptible to the influence of others (Olmastroni et al, 2021 ). In addition, the adults in our study used the “minority follow majority or voting” strategy most frequently (70% of the groups).…”

Adolescence, a period during which risk-taking behaviors frequently occur, is susceptible to peer influence. However, the direction of peer influence on group decision-making among adolescents and whether it increases group decision-making risk-seeking or risk-aversion is still unclear. This study recruited 84 adolescents ( age = 14.44, 48 girls) and 99 young adults ( M age = 20.48, 48 women) and adopted two framing tasks (life and money problems) to examine the differences between individual decision-making and group decision-making (of three members each), as well as the strategies for reaching consensus in group discussion. Results showed no evidence that adolescents are more risk seeking than adults in individual decision-making, and the adolescents were even more risk averse toward money problems than adults. We also found that the adolescents were more risk seeking for life problems but more risk averse for money problems in group decision-making than in individual decision-making under the loss frame. Further analysis of group discussion showed that the adolescents were more likely to apply the strategy of “one person puts forward an idea and then the others follow” to reach an agreement, while the adults tended to vote. This study indicated that peers’ influence on group decision-making is domain specific, especially among adolescents.

“…Gantiva et al (2021) similarly show that health frames in response to Covid-19 affect participants' personal behavioral incentives, but that participants believe other people will be more persuaded by economic frames. Likewise, Olmastroni et al (2021) find that positive and negative health frames influence public perceptions of Covid-related policy initiatives. While these studies do not focus on the war metaphor specifically, they do suggest that public opinion towards Covid-19 may be responsive to framing effects.…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, leaders and society at large invoked militarized rhetoric and war metaphors to elevate essential workers and inspire collective action. Using a survey experiment we investigate whether this type of framing affects public views about (1) individual responsibilities, (2) targeted polices, and (3) perceptions of those called heroes and soldiers. We find that the war metaphor has minimal effects on public attitudes toward policies and individual actions in response to the pandemic. Framing the response in militaristic terms does, however, appear to affect perceptions of essential workers. Counter to our hypotheses, subjects who saw essential workers called heroes or soldiers viewed them as more motivated by compensation rather than service, and expressed less respect for them, than respondents in the control. These findings, including the nulls, make important contributions to our understanding of the limits of framing effects in a polarized context.

“…Kahneman and Tversky [4] pointed out that the frame adopted by the decision maker, is partly controlled by how questions are formulated, and partly by the decision maker's personal habits, norms and other characteristics. These characteristics could be cultural variations [3], age differences [8], or decision makers' risk profile [1], etc. In the times of the pandemic, there are two ways to express health and economic behaviours: (1).…”

“…The COVID-19 outbreak during 2020 has drawn huge attention of the world, urging governments and health institutions to implement measures in order to slow down the spread of the virus and save lives [1].

The aim of this paper is to illustrate and summarize the role of framing effect under the COVID-19 pandemic with regards to three applications: vaccine promotion, general restrictive policy proposed by governments, and guidelines for older adults. Current studies for this issue are mostly about the effect of framing messages regarding separate individual aspects, with a focus on comparing the effectiveness of gain and loss-framed health messages. Overall, studies found that loss-framed messages seemed to work better in COVID-19 vaccine promotion and guidelines for older adults. Inconsistent results are presented in people's responds toward government restrictions, but no matter which one works better, framing effects are proved to be crucial and effective in informing people about the risks and importance of self-protection under the COVID-19 epidemic.
