摘要：

Nurses and student nurses read case descriptions and generated diagnoses for patients who differed on situational and behaviorial chactacteristics. Consistent with a representativeness heuristic, participants were less likely to attribute symptoms to physical illness when scenarios included extra-symptom patient characteristics. Results suggest that medical personnel implement prototypical, heuristic-based diagnostic procedures. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
