Unconscious death thoughts
Several factors influence the Time Trade-off (TTO) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) health measures. In qualitative TTO studies, respondents often report thoughts of death which may induce mortality awareness. According to Terror Management Theory (TMT), mortality awareness gives rise to anxiety and increases unconscious death thought accessibility (DTA), potentially mitigated by secure attachment. Therefore a relation between DTA and attachment v…
A threshold explanation for the lack of variation in negative composite time trade-off values
Analysing negative values in isolation leads to biased estimates. Analyses of cTTO values for individual respondents refute the insensitivity of negative cTTO values
Cultural values
The WVS cultural dimensions predict SRH within and between countries. Contrary to our expectations, traditional/rational-secular values were negatively associated with SRH. As SRH is associated with cultural values between countries, cultural values could be considered when interpreting SRH between countries
Does a decision aid for prostate cancer affect different aspects of decisional regret, assessed with new regret scales? A randomized, controlled trial
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate new regret scales and examine whether a decision aid affects different aspects of regret in the treatment choice for prostate cancer. METHODS: This was a multicentre trial (three sites) with imbalanced randomization (1 : 2). From 2008 to 2011, patients with localized prostate cancer were randomized 1 : 2 to usual care (N = 77) or usual care plus a decision aid presenting risks and benefits of different treatment…
Expected survival with and without second‐line palliative chemotherapy
BACKGROUND: According to surveys, many patients with advanced cancer wish to receive survival information. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated information preferences by offering patients a decision aid (DA) with information on expected survival for two treatment options: supportive care with or without second-line palliative chemotherapy. Predictors of accepting survival information were explored. DESIGN: Eligible patients in this multicentre pro…
The relationship between change in subjective outcome and change in disease
More positive ratings of retrospective health are independent of disease change. This suggests that patients do not necessarily change their standards in line with their disease change, and therefore it is inappropriate to use the then-test to correct for such a change. If a then-test is used to correct for shifts in internal standards, it might lead to the paradoxical result that patients who do not improve or even deteriorate increase significa…
On the Assessment of Preferences for Health and Duration
BACKGROUND: Several studies revealed difficulties with the valuation and analysis of health states deemed worse than dead. These problems may be linked to maximal endurable time (MET) preferences, the phenomenon that for severe states better than dead (BTD), shorter durations are often preferred to longer durations. OBJECTIVE: To test the association between the duration of health states and their valuation. METHODS: A representative sample of 12…
Testing the interval-level measurement property of multi-item visual analogue scales
Is a single-item visual analogue scale as valid, reliable and responsive as multi-item scales in measuring quality of life
Visual Search and Segregation as a Function of Display Complexity
Complexity is proposed as an important psychological factor in search and segregation tasks. Displays were presented with target and nontarget areas that were each built up of one type of randomly rotated micropatterns. We manipulated experimentally (a) the complexity of the target elements, as measured by Garner's (1970) invariance criterion; (b) the complexity of the target region; (c) the complexity of the nontargets; and (d) the number of ele…
