Study Notes
Decision Making
- The crux of decision making is choosing between alternatives.
- Decision making is distinguished from impulsive decisions by the use of reasoning.
- Reasoned decisions are made after weighing the pros and cons of each option.
- Impulsive decisions, on the other hand, are made quickly without much thought or consideration.
Decision Making and Problem Solving
- Decision making and problem solving share a key similarity: both involve identifying and choosing between alternative solutions.
- In problem solving, solution paths are evaluated and the most suitable one is chosen.
Decision Types
- The text mentions two types of decisions: impulsive decisions and reasoned decisions.
Importance of Reasoning
- Reasoning is emphasized as an important part of decision making, as it allows individuals to weigh the pros and cons of each option and make an informed choice.
