Color Helps Consumers Notice and Understand Contract Terms
Consumers seldom read or understand the terms of online contracts, even when those terms are visible on-screen. Across three experiments we show that using color to highlight a target clause can markedly improve consumers’ visual recognition, unprompted understanding, and information-retrieval measures without decreasing their understanding of untreated clauses. By contrast, the prevailing approach of presenting a target clause in all capital let…
Assessing yellow fever outbreak potential and implications for vaccine strategy
Yellow fever (YF), a vector-borne viral hemorrhagic fever, is endemic in tropical regions of Africa and South America, with large vaccination programmes being used for control. However, significant outbreaks have occurred in recent years. Data on infection rates and seroprevalence is often sparse, requiring robust mathematical models to estimate the burden of yellow fever. In particular, modelling is required to estimate the risk of outbreaks and…
People can understand IPCC visuals and are not influenced by colors
We carry out two online experiments with large representative samples of the US population to study key climate visuals included in the Sixth Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In the first study ( N = 977), we test whether people can understand such visuals, and we investigate whether color consistency within and across visuals influences respondents’ understanding, their attitudes toward climate change and their pol…
The relationship between socio-cognitive skills and ethnic prejudice in preservice special education teachers
The current cross-sectional study aimed to increase the knowledge about socio-cognitive skills of preservice special education teachers that may affect their ethnic prejudices. In particular, the purpose of the study was to analyze the mediating role of empathy dimensions in the relationship between affective theory of mind and blatant and subtle prejudices. Participants included 531 Italian preservice special education teachers (76.4% females an…
Interactions between concerns for the environment and other sources of concern in 31 European countries
Understanding how different sources of concern interact in people’s mind is a question that has entertained generations of scholars. The finite-pool-of-worry (FPW) hypothesis states that humans have limited resources to worry, thus when they are worried about one issue they become less worried about other issues. Instead, the affect generalization theory (AGT) posits that an increased level of worry about one threat increases concerns about relat…
Covid-19 Vaccine Passport and International Traveling
Immunity passports have the potential to allow large-scale international traveling to resume. However, they can only become an effective tool if they are widely supported by the general public. We carry out a double blind randomized online experiment with a sample of N=4000 Americans to study ( i ) whether two nudges can increase the level of support for a COVID pass for international traveling, ( ii ) the relationship between the effects of the …
Electrocutions in free-living black-tufted marmosets (Callithrix penicillata) in anthropogenic environments in the Federal District and surrounding areas, Brazil
Trust spillovers among national and European institutions
In this article, we study spillovers in political trust between the national parliaments of 15 Member States and the European Commission, the European Parliament and the European Central Bank in the period 2000–2015. We show that in most instances spillovers between the national parliaments and the European Commission and the European Parliament are bidirectional, asymmetric, and change over time and place. A corollary of these findings is that s…
Capture of Alouatta guariba clamitans for the surveillance of sylvatic yellow fever and zoonotic malaria
Howler monkey capture is an arduous and expensive task requiring trained and specialized professionals. We compared strategies and methods to most efficiently capture Alouatta guariba clamitans in remnants of the Atlantic Forest in Rio de Janeiro and its bordering states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo. We tested whether or not the success of expeditions in the forest with anesthetic darts, nets, and baited traps differed with and without the suppo…
