SYNTHETIC RESEARCH PRETEST · N=200

Framing effect

Equivalent outcomes can produce different risk preferences when described as gains or losses. The classic research examined such framing-dependent choices. This study compares risky choices under gain and loss frames.

Design and results

Synthetic responses followed the predicted direction. This is a directional description, not a matched human-participant test.
