Question- in what way does a question being worded in two different ways effect the way we make desitions about the subject the first way being worded in a positive manner and the other in a negetive.
In the book there is a section talking about the chances of decition being made due to a question being worded differently and the odds of how the question will be answered. The first question asked if you would like to take a gamble on 50 dolars it was a all or nothing bet the second option was that you could take a different bet and be shure you would keep 20 dollars. When the question was reworded in the same instance you would loose 30 of the origanl 50 and more than half the people that where studyed changed ther answere and insted bet the whole fifty under the sercumstance of the second offer when realy thay still would have came out with that same 20 dollars. I was supprised to read that the amydgala a portion of the bran does not like negitivity and will actuly make you unhapy about reading about a loss.
