Publication Type: Session Paper Abstract: Most studies in exemplification research show that recipients’ judgements are influ-enced by examples in the media, whereas base-rate information is usually ignored. In this study we assume that this is different for recipients who are familiar with base-rate information and who know about its diagnostic value. This expertise should neu-tralize the unilateral effect of exemplars on peoples´ quantitative perception of issues in favour of a stronger consideration of base-rate information. A quasi-experimental survey was conducted in order to compare the influence of exemplars and base-rate information on two different groups of subjects: Those who are acquainted with base-rate information (statistic-experts) and those who aren’t (statistic-laymen). As expected, only base-rate information influenced the experts´ perception of the issue, while the exemplars remained without effect. By contrast the laymen were only influenced by exemplars but not by base-rate information. Results are discussed with respect to the implications for exemplification theory.
