TL;DR: It is found that although levels of concern are relatively high, they are highest in the UK compared to all other sampled countries, and risk perception correlated significantly with reported adoption of preventative health behaviors in all ten countries.

TL;DR: A clear link between susceptibility to misinformation and both vaccine hesitancy and a reduced likelihood to comply with health guidance measures is demonstrated, and interventions which aim to improve critical thinking and trust in science may be a promising avenue for future research.

TL;DR: This interdisciplinary review structures and summarizes current practice and research across domains, combining a statistical and psychological perspective, and develops a framework for uncertainty communication in which three objects of uncertainty—facts, numbers and science—and two levels of uncertainty: direct and indirect are identified.

TL;DR: Examination of communicating epistemic uncertainty about facts across different topics shows that whereas people do perceive greater uncertainty when it is communicated, there is only a small decrease in trust in numbers and trustworthiness of the source, and mostly for verbal uncertainty communication.

TL;DR: It is predicted and found in 5 experiments that individuals operating in a locomotion self-regulatory mode prefer a unifinal to multifinal means,whereas individualsoperating in an assessment mode prefer multifinal to unifinals means.
