This paper reports the findings of two experimental investigations into efficacy a causal cognitive mapping procedure as means for overcoming biases arising from framing strategic decision problems. In Study 1, final year management studies undergraduate students were presented with an elaborated scenario, under one four conditions: positively vs. negatively framed scenarios, prechoice postchoice task orders (i.e., participants required to engage in before or after making decision). As...

How does negative mood affect risk taking? A brief questionnaire was used to measure state anxiety, depression, and fatigue, a daily diary allowed trait (average level) be separated. Studies 1 2 natural moods Study 3 induction procedure. Risk assessed using hypothetical everyday choice scenarios. showed that riskiness affected by but not anxiety depression. increased over two - week period predicted fatigue changes, after controlling for at time 1. Fatigue effects were stronger more...

The present study evaluates two alternative causal cognitive mapping procedures that exemplify key differences among a number of direct elicitation techniques currently in use the organizational strategy field: pairwise evaluation relationships and freeh approach. technique yielded relatively elaborate maps, but participants found task more difficult, less engaging, representative than Implications for choice interventionist research contexts are considered.

Humans frequently cooperate for collective benefit, even in one-shot social dilemmas. This provides a challenge theories of cooperation. Two views focus on intuitions but offer conflicting explanations. The Social Heuristics Hypothesis argues that people with selfish preferences rely cooperative and predicts deliberation reduces Self-Control Account emphasizes control over is consistent strong reciprocity-a preference conditional cooperation Here, we reconcile these explanations each other...

Abstract Wright and Goodwin (2002) maintain that, in terms of experimental design ecological validity, Hodgkinson et al. ( 1999 ) failed to demonstrate either that the framing bias is likely be salience strategic decision making, or causal cognitive mapping provides an effective means limiting damage accruing from this bias. In reply, we show there ample evidence support both our original claims. Moreover, using Goodwin's own data set, studies did fact attain appropriate levels their...

Findings reported by Mezias and Starbuck (2003), indicating that managers have inaccurate perceptions of their organization its environment, are appraised in the context work from field behavioural decision‐making (BDM) on heuristics biases. Drawing theory, research criticisms concerning calibration human judgement, continuous versus discrete judgements adequacy normative solutions used, we identify issues require further clarification suggest lines to address them.

Abstract Older workers are often placed in an unenviable position the face of stereotypes which define them as increasingly marginal work force, and view retirement terms status loss disengagement. Yet voluntary early schemes have been a recent feature organisations all types Britain, Western Europe North America. The nature decision-making processes those involved such has not widely researched studies conducted drawn on existing framework decision analysis. This paper reports findings two...

The article considers the development of computer-assisted decision support in context contemporary research on forms thinking used by makers. It outlines potential that computers have for overcoming known limitations human related to processing capacity and memory problems occur when these applications are developed without full knowledge different kinds adopted

Three general issues emerge from the preceding papers: a confusion between judgement and related activities such as decision making, problem solving, attitudes; differences in underlying assumptions about nature of judgement; different approaches for testing adequacy theories human judgement. The implications these studying processes future research priorities this area are briefly discussed.
