Title: Procedurally Rational Framing Effects
Abstract:
Framing effects are often taken as paradigmatic examples of human irrationality. The irrationality of framing effects is then used in debunking arguments against moral and philosophical intuitions. I argue that many framing effects are procedurally rational in the sense that they result from rational processes of practical inquiry. I make this argument through case studies of category-based choice, list-based choice, and salience-driven decision making. I conclude by showing how the procedural rationality of framing effects can be used to resist framing-based debunking arguments against moral and philosophical intuitions.
