Effects of treatment scenario on willingness to undergo treatment under four possible explanations for side effect aversion

Mental accounting (i.e., integration vs. segregation of probabilities) and Unit-Weight Linear Model	Mere presence or absence of side effect information	Computational difficulty (i.e., presence or absence of summary statement of risk)
MG > C > MXG > ML	MG = C > MXG = ML	MG+S = MXG+S = ML+S = C > MG ≠ MXG ≠ M

Note. The “greater than” signs (>) point toward the condition with lower predicted willingness. C = Control; MG = Multiple gain; MXG = Mixed gain; ML = Multiple loss; MG+S = Multiple loss with summary; MXG+S = Multiple gain with summary; ML+S = Multiple loss with summary.
