"Fifty years of research have created an impressive body ofknowledge and theory about human judgment and decision making. Thiscomprehensive and authoritative handbook will serve as a valuabletext and reference for students, scholars, and decisionmakers."
Paul Slovic, University of Oregon and President of DecisionResearch Institute
"Judgment and decision making is hot, and a handbook comesat just the right time. What I like so much about this book is thatso many of the chapters are written by young scholars with freshperspectives and new ideas. This Handbook is a great placefor graduate students to find out where the frontiers of the fieldare now, and who are the researchers that are making the field soexciting."
Richard H. Thaler, University of Chicago
"This is the first book to give a complete overview of thisfield, which has been developing since the 1950s. The first partdetails normative approaches and includes discussions of boundedrationality and computational models of decision making. The nexttwo parts focus respectively on judgements and decisions while thelast part examines practical applications. Topics range overhypothesis testing, the challenges of uncertainty and complexity,the role of feelings in decision making, the influence of cultureand even the psychology of medical decision making."
