Decision making cuts across most areas of intellectual enquiry and
academic endeavor. The classical view of individual human thinkers
choosing among options remains important and instructive, but the
contributors to this volume broaden this perspective to
characterize the decision making behavior of groups, non-human
organisms and even non-living objects and mathematical constructs.
A diverse array of methods is brought to bear-mathematical,
computational, subjective, neurobiological, evolutionary, and
cultural. We can often identify best or optimal decisions and
decision making processes, but observed responses may deviate
markedly from these, to a large extent because the environment in
which decisions must be made is constantly changing. Moreover,
decision making can be highly constrained by institutions, natural
and social context, and capabilities. Studies of the mechanisms
underlying decisions by humans and other organisms are just
beginning to gain traction and shape our thinking. Though decision
making has fundamental similarities across the diverse array of
entities considered to be making them, there are large differences
of degree (if not kind) that relate to the question of human
uniqueness. From this survey of views and approaches, we converge
on a tentative agenda for accelerating development of a new field
that includes advancing the dialog between the sciences and the
humanities, developing a defensible classification scheme for
decision making and decision makers, addressing the role of
morality and justice, and moving advances into applications-the
rapidly developing field of decision support.
