Omission bias in vaccination decisions: Where's the "omission"? Where's the "bias"?
Article Abstract:
Studies have reported that 'omission bias' in decision-making is a tendency towards the choices of a potentially harmful omission over a potentially less harmful act or to favor omissions over otherwise equivalent commissions. Research that is conducted on vaccination decisions has not convincingly demonstrated any general reluctance to vaccinate nor has it made the case that such a tendency, if found, would constitute a bias.

Testing the compatibility test: how instructions, accountability, and anticipated regret affect prechoice screening of options
Article Abstract:
The compatibility test is a valid approach along with the more general image theory for screening judgments. This is evident in an experiment wherein subjects were required to screen a set of jobs by retaining those that they prefer and rejecting those that are not under consideration. Results show that there were no variations between the reject and control setups and that the normal screening process seems to screen out the bad options rather than screen in the good ones. Accountability, instructions and anticipated regret were found to be significant factors in prechoice screening of options.
