Decision Approach & Competence Measures

Measures of decision approach assess individuals' management of the decision process, both pre- and post-decision (e.g., indecision, regret). We also include here measures of decision competence, which assess how well individuals make decisions and whether they reach satisfactory outcomes. For measures relating to decision or cognitive style, see decision style measures.
