Decision-Making Measures

Decision-making individual difference measures are those that assess individuals' decision-making processes and outcomes. We divide decision measures into two sub-categories: decision style and decision approach.

• Measures of decision style assess the ways in which individuals approach decision making, or thinking more generally (e.g., whether individuals adopt a rigorous analytic style or a gut-based experiential style).
• 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.
