Differences in simulated doctor and patient medical decision making: a construal level perspective.

<h4>Background</h4>Patients are often confronted with diverse medical decisions. Often lacking relevant medical knowledge, patients fail to independently make medical decisions and instead generally rely on the advice of doctors.<h4>Objective</h4>This study investigated the c...

Often lacking relevant medical knowledge, patients fail to independently make medical decisions and instead generally rely on the advice of doctors.<h4>Objective</h4>This study investigated the characteristics of and differences in doctor-patient medical decision making on the basis of construal level theory.<h4>Methods</h4>A total of 420 undergraduates majoring in clinical medicine were randomly assigned to six groups. Their decisions to opt for radiotherapy and surgery were investigated, with the choices described in a positive/neutral/negative frame × decision making for self/others.<h4>Results</h4>Compared with participants giving medical advice to patients, participants deciding for themselves were more likely to select radiotherapy (F1, 404 = 13.92, p = 011). Participants from positive or neutral frames exhibited a higher tendency to choose surgery than did those from negative frames (F2, 404 = 22.53, p<.001). The effect of framing on independent decision making was nonsignificant (F2, 404 = 1.07, p = 35); however the effect of framing on the provision of advice to patients was significant (F2, 404 = 12.95, p<.001). The effect of construal level was significant in the positive frame (F1, 404 = 8.06, p = 005) and marginally significant in the neutral frame (F2, 404 = 3.31, p = 07) but nonsignificant in the negative frame (F2, 404 = .29, p = 59).<h4>Conclusion</h4>Both social distance and framing depiction significantly affected medical decision making and exhibited a significant interaction.
