395 名以英语为母语的白人成年人样本被要求对 8 名医生（全科医生 (GP) 和顾问）进行评分，代表以下三个属性的所有排列：年龄（< 35 岁与 > 50 岁）、培训地点（英国与亚洲）和性别。大约一半的参与者被分配到患有涉及亲密类型健康问题的一组，其余的则分配到患有非亲密健康问题的一组。参与者表现出对英国培训的医生的偏好，尽管尚不清楚这是否是由于样本成分的均匀性所致。在第一个案例中存在显着的双向交互作用，涉及患者性别和医生性别，在第二个案例中涉及医生年龄和培训地点。其他互动特定于全科医生或顾问评级。总体而言，全科医生评分有更显着的影响，这表明人们在选择顾问时不再强调自己的偏好。
A sample of 395 white, native English-speaking adults were asked to rate eight medical doctors (general practitioners (GPs) and consultants), representing all permutations of the following three attributes: age (< 35 versus > 50), training location (UK versus Asia) and gender. Approximately half the participants were allocated in a group with a condition involving an intimate type of health problem and the rest in a group with a non-intimate condition. Participants showed a preference for UK-trained doctors, although it was unclear whether this was due to the homogeneous composition of the sample. There were significant two-way interactions involving patient gender and doctor gender in the first case and doctor age and training location in the second. Additional interactions were specific to either the general practitioner or the consultant ratings. Overall, there were more significant effects in general practitioner ratings, suggesting that people de-emphasize their preferences when selecting consultants.
