A note concerning reflection effects versus framing effects.

Abstract

A recent article discussing the costs and benefits of judgment errors and presenting a taxonomy of judgment behaviors (H. Arkes, 1991) included an error. This note corrects the error in H. Arkes's article in which framing effects were mislabeled as reflection effects. In addition, readers may have mistakenly received the impression that evidence for reflection and framing effects is more consistent than it is. So, it is clarified that research evidence for reflection and framing effects is variable rather than uniformly positive
