Psychological Investigations of Competence in Decision MakingKip Smith, James Shanteau, Paul Johnson This book opens up new directions in judgment and decision making research. Our society and academic research generally have largely neglected the fact that sound judgment and decision making are the crux of many professions. This volume explores metacognitive processes as an enabler of competence at decision making. By understanding and communicating what professional decision makers do and how they do it well, and so offering a new analysis of competence, this book offers valuable contributions both to the judgement/decision making field and to the professional community at large. |
