Despite considerable scholarly investigations in this area, the majority of existing work tends to be western-centric and systematically overlooks the characteristics of decision makers and context. Using a sample of Iranian health-care providers, this article addresses these challenges in investigation of framing effect. The results based on responses of 62 decision makers to multiple decision scenarios indicate that framing has a very strong influence on Iranian experts’ choices. Additionally, the findings show that framing interacts with decision makers’ general risk-taking propensity and domain-specific expertise to shape choice. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. © The Author(s) 2019.
