Abstract

Dates of grant: September 1, 2020 - August 31, 2021

Award amount: $172,372.27

Funder: U.S. Department of Education

Research grant: The public receives daily updates about the number of people locally, nationally, and globally who are infected with, and die from, COVID-19. Whole number bias may cause people to disregard COVID-19 as a small threat and fail to heed preventative measures. The purpose of this study is to test whether a brief educational intervention diminishes whole number bias when reasoning about COVID-19 statistics. https://ies.ed.gov/funding/grantsearch/details.asp?ID=4518
