What is the difference between simple problem solving (SPS) and complex problem solving (CPS)?
What is the difference between simple problem solving (SPS) and complex problem solving (CPS)?
- SPS addresses one issue, while CPS deals with multiple interrelated obstacles (correct)
- SPS requires more resources than CPS
- SPS is related to well-defined problems, while CPS is related to ill-defined problems
- SPS involves emotional intelligence, while CPS requires psychometric intelligence
What distinguishes well-defined problems from ill-defined problems?
What distinguishes well-defined problems from ill-defined problems?
- Well-defined problems have specific obstacles and goals, while ill-defined problems lack clarity on the resolution to aim for (correct)
- Well-defined problems are related to simple tasks, while ill-defined problems are related to complex issues
- Well-defined problems depend on the changeable emotions of individuals or groups, while ill-defined problems require formal knowledge
- Well-defined problems require emotional intelligence, while ill-defined problems require psychometric intelligence

Study Notes
Problem Solving
- Simple Problem Solving (SPS): Involves well-defined problems with clear goals, minimal uncertainty, and a limited number of possible solutions.
- Complex Problem Solving (CPS): Involves ill-defined problems with unclear goals, high uncertainty, and a large number of possible solutions.
Problem Classification
- Well-defined problems: Have clear goals, constraints, and a limited number of possible solutions.
- Ill-defined problems: Have unclear goals, no clear constraints, and a large number of possible solutions.
Problem Solving Requirements
- Goal attainment: Requires a clear understanding of the problem, generation of solutions, and evaluation of their effectiveness.
Socio-emotional Problems
- Dependent on: Interpersonal conflicts, emotional states, and social relationships.
Problem-Solving Task Classification
- Classification is based on the problem's complexity, structure, and requirements.
