Inertia and Decision Making [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
Decision inertia is the tendency to repeat previous choices independently of the outcome, which can give rise to perseveration in suboptimal choices. We investigate this tendency in probability-updating tasks. Study 1 shows that, whenever decision inertia conflicts with normatively optimal behavior (Bayesian updating), error rates are larger and ...

Analysis of Product Sampling for New Product Diffusion Incorporating Multiple-Unit Ownership

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
Multiple-unit ownership of nondurable products is an important component of sales in many product categories. Based on the Bass model, this paper develops a new model considering the multiple-unit adoptions as a diffusion process under the influence of ...

Development of an online patient decision aid for kidney failure treatment modality decisions

BMC Nephrology, 2022
Background Patient decision aids (PtDAs) support patients and clinicians in shared decision-making (SDM). Real-world outcome information may improve patients’ risk perception, and help patients make decisions congruent with their expectations and values.

Affect and prosocial behavior : The role of decision mode and individual processing style

, 2022
We study the effects of experimental manipulation of decision mode (rational "brain" vs. affective "heart") and individual difference in processing styles (intuition vs. deliberation) on prosocial behavior. In a survey experiment with a diverse sample of
