STSS 4130 - Decision Making
Recent research suggests that how people do make decisions deviates from how people rationally should make decisions. Both topics are the focal concern of the course, which surveys the influence of mental heuristics and biases, social context, and affect on judgment and choice. The material for examining individual and group decisions is drawn from laboratory research as well as a number of real-world situations including military operations, legal settings, and risk assessment. This is a communication-intensive course.
