Figure 1.
The impact of incidental weight sensation (light vs. heavy clipboard) on the estimated severity of diseases and drug side effects.
Diseases and drugs did not match and hence were unrelated. Disease severity was rated first, followed by drug side effects. Vertical lines indicate the standard error of the mean.
Figure 2.
The impact of incidental weight sensation (light vs. heavy clipboard) on the estimated recovery time from diseases and the effectiveness of drugs.
Diseases and drugs did not match and hence were unrelated. Recovery time was rated first, followed by drug effectiveness. Vertical lines indicate the standard error of the mean.
Figure 3.
The impact of incidental weight sensation (light vs. heavy clipboard) on the estimated effectiveness of drugs and the severity of their side effects.
For each drug, effectiveness and side effect severity were rated simultaneously. Vertical lines indicate the standard error of the mean.
Figure 4.
The impact of incidental weight sensation (light vs. heavy drug package) on the estimated effectiveness of non-weight-related drugs and the severity of their side effects.
For each drug, effectiveness and side effect severity were rated simultaneously. Vertical lines indicate the standard error of the mean.
Figure 5.
The estimated effectiveness and side effect severity of weight-related drugs depending on the drug's effect (weight reduction vs. muscle increase) and incidental weight sensation (light vs. heavy clipboard).
For each drug, effectiveness and side effect severity were rated simultaneously. Vertical lines indicate the standard error of the mean.
