Framing Effect

The phenomenon where people react differently to the same information depending on how it is presented — as a loss or a gain, negative or positive.

In plain language

The same information presented differently produces different decisions. "90% survival rate" and "10% mortality rate" are identical facts with different outcomes.

In the wild

Implementations of this model aren’t wired to this view yet — they live in the implementations table.
