Comparing normative and descriptive methods for multi-criteria decision analysis: A case study evaluating wetland restoration opportunities in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, USA

David M. Martin et al.

Summary: This study compares normative and descriptive multi-criteria decision analysis methods in providing decision insights. The results show that descriptive methods provide inherent tradeoff information that normative methods do not, which is favorable for researchers seeking a more objective analysis. However, descriptive methods do not guarantee favorable results and should be considered along with individual preferences and judgments.

Effects of decision training on individuals' decision-making proactivity

Johannes Ulrich Siebert et al.

Summary: Decision sciences emphasize the importance of decision training, but few studies have empirically tested its effectiveness or practical usefulness, and even fewer have investigated its impact on problem structuring. Effective structuring of problems and generating alternatives is crucial in decision-making processes, leading to increased decision satisfaction and overall life satisfaction. Research findings indicate positive effects of decision training on proactive cognitive skills and decision satisfaction, with minimal impact on proactive personality traits and limited significant interactions with experience.

Do people disagree with themselves? Exploring the internal consistency of complex, unfamiliar, and risky decisions

Douglas L. Bessette et al.

Summary: The article suggests that individuals may show higher internal consistency in decision-making when choices are easy, but this consistency decreases in complex and risky situations. Providing additional contextual information about alternatives can significantly reduce the consistency of people's choices. Additionally, higher levels of education are positively associated with consistency in decision-making.

Navigating inconsistent preferences: A multimethod approach to making informed decisions

David M. Martin

Summary: This study introduces a decision-analytic framework for prioritizing conservation strategies by combining direct and indirect preference-elicitation methods and analyzing inconsistencies between them. Results indicate that understanding potential bias in the direct method and clarifying assumptions in the indirect method can reduce inconsistencies, providing useful insights for decision-making.
