Cognitive Concepts

3/5

Framing Bias

The repetitive nature of the message, always starting with "Parce qu'une autre personne (ou vous)" and ending with instructions to ensure only one person uses the account, creates a framing bias. The emphasis is consistently placed on the problem of multiple users rather than offering straightforward solutions. This could potentially frustrate users and make finding the solution more difficult.

2/5

Language Bias

The language used is relatively neutral, however, the repeated phrasing creates a sense of urgency and potential blame, suggesting the user is at fault. Phrases such as "assurez-vous que vous ĂȘtes la seule personne" imply potential wrongdoing or unauthorized access. Neutral alternatives could include more direct and helpful phrasing such as "To resolve this, please ensure only one device is logged in at a time.

3/5

Bias by Omission

The message omits details about how to efficiently log out from other devices. While it mentions clicking a button, it does not explain where this button is located or the process for logging out. It also lacks a direct link to account management options.

2/5

False Dichotomy

The message presents a false dichotomy by suggesting only two options: either ensure only one person uses the account, or switch to a multi-account plan. This ignores other potential scenarios, such as technical issues or accidental logins from other devices.
