Beyond Comprehension (2012, background): “Peters et al. (2006) concluded that an affective process may underlie their greater number use.”
Risk Perception and Affect (2006, background): “Research on numeracy and decision making may be useful here (Peters et al., 2006).”
A User's Guide to Debiasing (2014, background): “There is a strong connection between poor mathematical ability (innumeracy) and susceptibility to certain decision errors, such as attribute framing (e.g., evaluating a test score of 74% correct as more favorable than 26% incorrect) and many other biases (Peters et al., 2006).”
Predicting biases in very highly educated samples: Numeracy and metacognition (2014, background): “The longest-standing and most widely used assessments of numeracy are based on classical testing theory, which estimates theoretical differences in abilities based on one’s relative test score (Novick, 1966; see also Cokely et al., 2013, in press; Lipkus, Samsa, & Rimer, 2001; Peters et al., 2006; S”
The base for direct taxation (2008, unknown): “Peters et al (2005) summarise their evidence as showing that more numerate individuals were ‘more likely to retrieve and use appropriate numerical principles, thus making themselves less susceptible to framing effects’130 and ‘tended to draw different (generally stronger or more precise) affective…”
Effective communication of uncertainty in the IPCC reports (2012, background): “Their review suggests that highly numerate individuals can assess health-related information more accurately and as a result, make better health related decisions and Peters et al. (2006) show that highly numerate individuals are more likely to apply appropriate numerical principles and are less sus”
