Influence of uncertainty on framed decision-making with moral dilemma

Abstract: In cases of impending natural disasters, most events are uncertain and emotionally relevant, both critical factors for decision-making. Moreover, for exposed individuals, the sensitivity to the framing of the consequences (gain or loss) and the moral judgments they have to perform (e.g., evacuate or help an injured person) constitute two central effects that have never been examined in the same context of decision-making. In a framed decision-making task with moral dilemma, we investigated whether uncertainty … Show more

“…Alert (or threat) levels are widely regarded as an efficient means of communicating levels of unrest and in some cases desired civic responses, and consequently they are widely used by governments world-wide. When linked to probabilistic and uncertainty analysis, alert levels have the advantage of a simplified message that is less subject to the moral and emotional dilemmas posed by requiring those at-risk to independently analyze the associated uncertainties (Merlhiot et al 2018). Before releasing alerts, warnings or forecasts, observatory leader(s) and their civil protection partners should seek the best possible knowledge and a consensus about the situation among discipline experts, ensure that data and rationale for decisions are documented, and speak with a single/common voice.…”

“…In addition to the issue of understanding of the definition of uncertainty, too much emphasis on the uncertainty of forecasts can undermine credibility (Merlhiot et al 2018), yet too little emphasis can lead to overconfidence and over-reaction by civil authorities, which in turn can result in a loss of credibility. Among the many lessons learned after the L' Aquila earthquake that struck central Italy in 2009 is the importance of including even very low-probability events in communications (Jordan 2013;Cocco et al 2015) and the need for standards of practice (Bretton et al 2015(Bretton et al , 2018a.…”

“…Foram selecionados cinco estudos que abordam os critérios em uma tomada de decisão moral. O primeiro, de Lawrence Kohlberg (1973), propõe uma teoria sobre os níveis de desenvolvimento cognitivo moral; o segundo, de Jones (1991), descreve um modelo de intensidade moral, com seis aspectos que influenciam uma questão moral (1) magnitude de consequências; 2) consenso social; 3) probabilidade de efeito; 4) imediatismo temporal; 5) proximidade e 6) concentração de efeito); o terceiro, de Stein e Ahmad ( 2009), que quantificou o estudo de magnitude de consequências de John ( 1991), e classificou a influência de danos físicos, psicológicos e econômicos; o quarto, de Weber e Wasieleski ( 2001) que mapearam os aspectos que influenciam a decisão moral de gerentes em organizações; e por fim, o de Merlhiot et. al (2018), que ponderou o efeito da incerteza de um evento no padrão de enquadramento de julgamento e decisão moral.…”

“…Foi oportuna nesta tese a compreensão dos estudos de tomada de decisão moral, em sua capacidade de explicar os aspectos que influenciam uma transgressão, relacionados aos resultados da GT. Os praticantes apenas compreendem os danos com maior magnitude de consequências, subestimam ações que têm baixa probabilidade de efeito (JONES, 1991) ou confortam-se em cenário de incerteza sobre eventos (MERLHIOT, 2018), porque a área trabalha com poucos indicadores que avaliem os resultados de suas atividades para os interesses e direitos dos públicos. Os dados balizadores da tomada de decisão do praticante são os que interessam apenas aos representados, ficando ocultos possíveis danos e consequências aos públicos até que algo sensivelmente grave aconteça.…”
