Exposition effects on decision making: choice and confidence in choice

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the role of exposition in decision-making reveals that explaining a decision greatly improves a subject's confidence in choice and that exposition serves to reduce framing effects. Writing before choosing is also found to be better than writing after choosing. The study warrants further steps in evaluating confidence in decision-making processes as it opens doors on the influence of exposition in psychological matters.

Resource-allocation behavior in complex but commonplace tasks

Article Abstract:

An analysis of resource-allocation behavior in complex tasks reveals that people can learn resource-allocation tasks over time and that they tend to make decisions that converge to optimal solutions. People can make optimal linear programming decisions even with complicated, three-dimensional problems. Decision-makers also tend to approach problems in a way where solutions tend to become equally scheduled.
