Synopsis

How do people decide what to do? What is the origin of judgment? These questions are fundamental both to individual psychology, and across the social sciences. "Judgement and Decision Making" bring together the classic works in the field of the past 50 years, both setting the field in historical and theoretical context, and outlining cutting edge research. The articles range across psychology, economics, sociology and neuroscience, and deals both with fundamental and applied research. "Volume 1, Foundations", sets out core background material. "Volume 2, Individual Decision Making", considers how people make choices, including choices between complex options, and choices involving risk and time. "Volume 3, Probability and Judgment", considers how people reason with uncertainty, estimate frequencies, and determine degrees of confidence. "Volume 4, Interactive and Group Processes", considers how people make decisions in social interactions, group decision making, and implications for economics and society. The collection is targeted at advanced undergraduates and graduate students in Psychology, Economics, and Business. It provides a foundation for students and practioners in cognitive psychology, behavioural economics, behavioural finance, neuroeconomics, and marketing.

About this title

Synopsis:

This collection seeks to bring together the major influential publications in judgment and decision making over the last 50 years. This is the first time this material, much of it hard to obtain, would be available in one set of volumes. It is a foundation resource for individuals and institutions building their knowledge of judgment and decision making research. It is the first point of reference for academics and practitioners and will complement Lamberts' collection on cognitive science which takes a more panoramic stance of a broader field. Lamberts' collection has a single volume on "Judgment and Decision Making".

About the Author:

Nick Chater is Professor of Cognitive and Decision Sciences at the University College London. His research focusses on fundamental principles of cognition, which apply across several cognitive domains. He is particularly interested in problems of uncertain inference, that arise in learning, reasoning, and perception; and in models of judgement and decision making, based on cognitive principles. He also works on real-world applications of the cognitive and decision sciences.
