Physician and patient perception: an introduction

A cognitive psychologist discusses causal beliefs, patient decisions and disclosures, and how those affect health care.

Jessecae K. Marsh, PhD, is co-author of a study, “Perceived Penalties for Sharing Patient Believes with Health Care Providers.” It examines how physicians and patients think they will be perceived when they disclose their beliefs in a health care setting. Here, Marsh introduces her research interests in how causal beliefs influence the way patients make decisions about seeking health care. Additional authors are Onur Asan, PhD, and Samantha Kleinberg, PhD, both of the Stevens Institute of Technology.
