ABSTRACT
People with different attitudes process evidence, including uncertain and conflicting evidence, in different ways (Corner, Whitmarsh, & Xenias, 2012). The critical point for forecasts is the one at which individuals alter their plans (Handmer & Proudley, 2007); however, there may not be a universal critical point. In making tradeoffs required in decision making, such as between current and future risks, people may benefit less from more facts and more from different perspectives that help them clarify the implications of a decision on what they value (Pidgeon & Fischhoff, 2011).
