Decisions vary. They vary in both content and complexity. People also vary. An important way that people vary is how much they think about a decision. Some prior research investigating thinking and decision making largely conflicts with most traditional decision theories. For example, if considering an array of products to choose from, thinking more about the different alternative’s attributes should lead to a better decision. However, some research indicates that it may also lead to more focus on irrelevant aspects of the decision situation. We propose that this conflict exists because of a failure to consider the interaction between the individual and the decision task. To test this, we used separate methodologies that enhance or attenuate a person’s thinking. In Study 1 we selected people who were especially high or low in need for cognition (Cacioppo & Petty, 1982) and had them complete a robust decision-making inventory, which included both complex and simple tasks. In Study 2 we manipulated participant’s level of glucose, which acts as the brain’s fuel to enhance or attenuate thinking ability. Both studies support the view that more thought leads to better decisions in complex tasks but does not influence simple decisions, including those that are valence based. These findings show how the individual’s thinking interacts with the constructive elements of the task to shape decision choice. Key Words: Decision making, Thinking, A-DMC, Complex decisions, Need-forcognition, glucose

关于决策的思考:人员和任务因素的综合方法

决定各不相同。它们的内容和复杂性各不相同。人也因人而异。人们差异的一个重要方式是他们对决定的看法。一些先前调查思考和决策制定的研究与大多数传统决策理论大相径庭。例如,如果考虑从一系列产品中进行选择,更多地考虑不同替代品的属性应该会导致更好的决策。然而,一些研究表明,它也可能导致更多地关注决策情况的不相关方面。我们提出这种冲突的存在是因为未能考虑个体与决策任务之间的相互作用。为了测试这一点,我们使用了不同的方法来增强或减弱一个人的思维。在研究 1 中,我们选择了认知需求特别高或低的人 (Cacioppo & Petty, 1982),并让他们完成一个强大的决策清单,其中包括复杂和简单的任务。在研究 2 中,我们操纵了参与者的葡萄糖水平,它作为大脑的燃料来增强或减弱思维能力。两项研究都支持这样一种观点,即在复杂任务中更多的思考会导致更好的决策,但不会影响简单的决策,包括那些基于效价的决策。这些发现显示了个人的思维如何与任务的建设性元素相互作用以形成决策选择。关键词:决策,思考,A-DMC,复杂决策,需求认知,葡萄糖 其中包括复杂和简单的任务。在研究 2 中,我们操纵了参与者的葡萄糖水平,它作为大脑的燃料来增强或减弱思维能力。两项研究都支持这样一种观点,即在复杂任务中更多的思考会导致更好的决策,但不会影响简单的决策,包括那些基于效价的决策。这些发现显示了个人的思维如何与任务的建设性元素相互作用以形成决策选择。关键词:决策,思考,A-DMC,复杂决策,需求认知,葡萄糖 其中包括复杂和简单的任务。在研究 2 中,我们操纵了参与者的葡萄糖水平,它作为大脑的燃料来增强或减弱思维能力。两项研究都支持这样一种观点,即在复杂任务中更多的思考会导致更好的决策,但不会影响简单的决策,包括那些基于效价的决策。这些发现显示了个人的思维如何与任务的建设性元素相互作用以形成决策选择。关键词:决策,思考,A-DMC,复杂决策,需求认知,葡萄糖 包括那些基于价态的。这些发现显示了个人的思维如何与任务的建设性元素相互作用以形成决策选择。关键词:决策,思考,A-DMC,复杂决策,需求认知,葡萄糖 包括那些基于价态的。这些发现显示了个人的思维如何与任务的建设性元素相互作用以形成决策选择。关键词:决策,思考,A-DMC,复杂决策,需求认知,葡萄糖
