Judgment and Decision Making is a refreshingly accessible
text that explores the wide variety of ways people make judgments.
It examines assessments of probability, frequency, and causation;
as well as how decisions are rendered under conditions of risk and
uncertainty. Topics covered include dynamic, everyday, and group
decision making; individual differences; and the nature of mind and
brain in relation to judgment and decision making.
Offering up-to-date theoretical coverage, including perspectives from evolutionary psychology and neuroscience, this volume has everything a psychology student needs for BPS accreditation, whilst drawing out the practical applications for non-psychology students with plentiful examples from business, economics, sport, law, and medicine. The latest addition to the BPS Textbooks in Psychology series, this thorough text provides a succinct, reader-friendly account of the field of judgment and decision making.
