Decision-making

In psychology, decision-making is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several alternative possibilities. Every decision-making process produces a final choice that may or may not prompt action. Decision-making is the process of identifying and choosing alternatives based on the values and preferences of the decision-maker.

Overview

Decision-making can be regarded as a problem-solving activity terminated by a solution deemed to be satisfactory. It is therefore a process which can be more or less rational or irrational and can be based on explicit knowledge or tacit knowledge.

Human performance with regard to decisions has been the subject of active research from several perspectives:

  • Psychological: examining individual decisions in the context of a set of needs, preferences and values the individual has or seeks.
  • Cognitive: the decision-making process regarded as a continuous process integrated in the interaction with the environment.

    Decision Making

    by: Hangnail

    It happens every single time
    Just when I thought all is well
    I'm either wrong or just not right
    Seems I'm never good enough
    Look at me I am trying hard as can be
    To be the person that my sovereign maker wants me to be
    Can't you see all I want for His will to be done
    Decision making is not my own
    A selfish one way thinking mind
    Can only make feelings of pain
    An open heart goes hand in hand
    With bringing problems to an end
    Look at me I am trying hard as can be
    To be the person that my sovereign maker wants me to be
    Can't you see all I want for His will to be done
    Decision making is not my own
    Look at me I am trying hard as can be
    To be the person that my sovereign maker wants me to be
    Can't you see all I want for His will to be done
