What is the Framing Effect?

People respond differently to identical information depending on whether it's framed as a loss or gain. '90% survival rate' is preferred over '10% mortality rate' even though they're identical.

How much does framing affect choices?

Classic Tversky & Kahneman experiments show framing shifts choice rates by 20-40 percentage points on identical options. The effect is robust across cultures.
