Cognitive and Affective Factors Influencing Physicians’ Communication and Decisions about Prognosis and Palliative Care
Collaborative research studies involving psychological and medical scientists examine several cognitive and affective predictors of physicians’ decisions to make palliative care referrals and have prognostic conversations with patients. Understanding how emotions, numeracy, goal conflict, and other factors influence experts’ decisions may contribute solutions to real-world challenges and advance psychological research.
