Decision Style Measures

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). Within decision style, we include:

1. Measures of decision style, which were specifically designed to assess individuals' approaches to decision making.
2. Measures of cognitive style, which were designed to assess individuals' approaches to thinking more generally, but have been successfully applied to decision making.
3. Measures of epistemic motivation, which were designed to assess motivated cognition, but have been successfully applied to decision making. Closely related are measures of ambiguity (in)tolerance.

For measures relating to decision approach and decision competence, see decision approach measures.
