Decision-making (alternatively spelled, decision making) is the action, process, and/or creative behavior of making decisions.


Classifications

Any decision is a choice made from among two or more alternatives. The criteria that define what's important or relevant to resolving a problem are known as decision criteria. The freedom to decide what should be done in a particular situation is known as decisional discretion.

Programmed vs non-programmed

  1. Programmed decision. Any decision to follow a policy, operative rule, another regulation, or to routinely repeat one's previous decision that has been made while handling a similarly structured task.
  2. Non-programmed decision (creative decision). A unique and nonrecurring decision that requires a custom-made solution.

Individual vs collective

  1. Individual decision-making. Decision-making made by an individual as opposed to group decision-making.
  2. Group decision-making.

Factors

Forced vs leisure

Controlled vs uncontrolled

  1. Controlled expectancy. A situation in which a decision maker is able to estimate the likelihood of certain outcomes.
    • Certainty. A situation in which a decision maker can make accurate decisions because all outcomes are known.
    • Uncertainty. A situation in which a decision maker has neither certainty nor reasonable probability estimates available.

Internal vs external

  1. Core self-evaluation. Bottom-line conclusions individuals have about their capacities, competence, and worth as a person. In other words, self-believing in one's inner worth and basic competence.
    • General mental ability. An overall factor of intelligence, as suggested by the positive correlations among specific intellectual ability dimensions.

Approaches

Decision-making approach. A particular manner of taking preliminary steps toward making a decision.

Rational

  1. Rational decision-making. Decision-making that produces choices that are logical and consistent and maximize value.
    • Rationale. A reasoning characterized by making consistent, value-maximizing choices within specified constraints.

Intuitive

  1. Intuitive decision-making. Unconscious decision-making on the basis of distilled experience, feelings, and accumulated judgment.

Ad hoc

  1. Ad hoc decision-making.

Tendencies

  1. Decisional tendency.

Optimizing vs. satisficing

    • Satisfice. Acceptance of solutions that are "good enough."

Conservative vs aggressive

    • Allostasis. Working to change behavior and attitude to find stability.

Process types

Agile vs rigid

Linear vs nonlinear

Considerations

Self-regulation

  1. Self-regulation strategy.
    • Prevention focus. A self-regulation strategy that involves striving for goals by fulfilling duties and obligations.
    • Promotion focus. A self-regulation strategy that involves striving for goals through advancement and accomplishment.

Ethics

  1. Ethical dilemma. A situation in which individuals are required to define right and wrong conduct.
