Does yoga change the psycho-physiological states among first year college students? A novel investigation via yoga for stress management protocol
Yoga is a promising treatment for mental health, but its impact on first-year college students’ academic stress is not well understood. The present study presented a Yoga for Stress Management (YSM) protocol to examine its effects on psychological and physiological outcomes. Participants were randomly allocated to a yoga group (N = 27) or a control group (N = 32), with the yoga group participating in 45-minute sessions three times a week for eigh…
Analyzing single-action bias in dynamic climate change environments
“Single action bias” (SAB) characterizes individuals’ inclination to undertake only one preventive measure against climate change, disregarding potentially more effective alternatives. This bias poses a significant obstacle to comprehensive responses to climate change. While dynamic climate simulators have been developed to raise awareness of climate change and encourage pro-environmental behaviors, the prevalence of SAB within these tools remain…
Cyber Security
Cyber-attacks are deliberate attempts by adversaries to illegally access online information of other individuals or organizations. There are likely to be severe monetary consequences for organizations and its workers who face cyber-attacks. However, currently, little is known on how monetary consequences of cyber-attacks may influence the decision-making of defenders and adversaries. In this research, using a cyber-security game, we evaluate the …
Burden of out-of-pocket health expenditure and its impoverishment impact in India
In low- and middle-income countries like India, financing of health-care expenditure is predominantly characterized by out-of-pocket (OOP) spending. Given this context, the current study examined the economic burden of OOP health expenditure and resultant impoverishment in India. The study employed nationally representative survey on ‘Health and Morbidity’ conducted by National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) in 2014 in India. Standard catastro…
Cash transfers, maternal depression and emotional well-being
Maternal depression is an important public health concern. We investigated whether a national-scale initiative that provides cash transfers to women giving birth in government health facilities, the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY), reduced maternal depression in India's largest state, Uttar Pradesh. Using primary data on 1695 women collected in early 2015, our quasi-experimental design exploited the fact that some women did not receive the JSY cash …
The Description–Experience Gap in Risky and Ambiguous Gambles
Recent research in decision making reported a description–experience (DE) gap: opposite risky choices when decisions are made from descriptions (gambles in which probability distributions and outcomes are explicitly stated) and when decisions are made from experience (the knowledge of the gambles is obtained by sampling outcomes from unknown probability distributions before making a choice). The DE gap has been reported in gambles commonly involv…
Observed Variability and Values Matter
The search for different options before making a consequential choice is a central aspect of many important decisions, such as mate selection or purchasing a house. Despite its importance, surprisingly little is known about how search and choice are affected by the observed and objective properties of the decision problem. Here, we analyze the effects of two key properties in a binary choice task: the options' observed and objective values, and t…
Reducing the Linear Perception of Nonlinearity
Research shows that while judging accumulations of quantities over time (e.g., money in a bank account or CO 2 in Earth's atmosphere), people assume that the shape of the accumulation is similar to the shape of the inflow (i.e., people rely on a correlation heuristic). Relying on the correlation heuristic is particularly worrisome for Earth's climate, as judging the CO 2 accumulation according to its emissions (inflow) would underestimate the act…
Instance‐based Learning
A common practice in cognitive modeling is to develop new models specific to each particular task. We question this approach and draw on an existing theory, instance‐based learning theory (IBLT), to explain learning behavior in three different choice tasks. The same instance‐based learning model generalizes accurately to choices in a repeated binary choice task, in a probability learning task, and in a repeated binary choice task within a changin…
Why Do We Want to Delay Actions on Climate Change? Effects of Probability and Timing of Climate Consequences
This research tests people's support for the “wait‐and‐see” approach in climate change due to the uncertainty in both the timing and probability of future consequences. In a laboratory experiment, carbon‐tax consequences were presented to participants in one of two forms: a written description, where the probability, consequences, and timing were explicitly provided; and experience, where the probability, consequences, and timing were sampled thr…
