Information Avoidance in Genetic Health: Perceptions, Norms, and Preferences

2019-06-11

Abstract excerpt

<p>The decision to avoid or ignore potentially useful information is common and often costly in health and genetics. Little is known, however, about how people evaluate those who choose to avoid or learn health information about themselves. Across four preregistered studies, we find that lay observers view those who avoid a genetic health result as less competent and moral, with less empathy and sympathy, and as l...
