Communicating uncertainty led to only a small drop in trust across five experiments with 5,780 participants.
“we observed only a small decrease in trust in numbers and trustworthiness of the source, and mostly for verbal uncertainty communication”Abstrak
In this lab
Every principle and finding uses textual status labels (Not tested, Supported, Conditionally supported) instead of relying on color, icons, or hover.
Priority
The lab publishes conditional findings and untested principles; readers must see their status without unnecessarily undermining trust.
Experiments
No experiments yet.
How to test it: Compare findings without status, with status labels, and with labels plus numeric ranges. Measure trust and the accuracy of choosing stronger findings.
Findings
No findings yet.
