The fifth edition of the classic text Thinking and Deciding updates
the broad overview of the field of judgments and decisions offered
in previous editions. It covers the normative standards used to
evaluate conclusions, such as logic, probability, and various forms
of utility theory. It explains descriptive accounts of departures
from these standards, largely in terms of principles of cognitive
psychology, emphasizing the distinction between search processes
and inferences. Chapters cover decisions under risk, decision
analysis, moral decisions and social dilemmas, and decisions about
the future. Although the book assumes no particular prerequisites
beyond introductory high-school algebra, it is most suited to
advanced undergraduates, early graduate students, and active
researchers in related fields, such as business, politics, law,
medicine, economics, and philosophy.
