The widely cited study by Lichtenstein et al. (1978) concluded that people overestimate the frequency of dramatic causes of death (e.g., Tornado). A new article in @CognitionJourn finds that these results do not replicate (Open Access): sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🧵1/5

Happy to have made a small contribution to this collaborative effort. We evaluated the accuracy of behavioral science policy recommendations during COVID-19, finding support for 16 out of 19 assessed claims across 747 articles. Thank you @kairuggeri for leading this project!
