The ability to make decisions is often assumed to be something that distinguishes humans from the rest of nature. Decision making occurs in many forms, and the decisionmaking task can be more or less complex, well-defined, and new to the decision maker. Moreover, decision making, in addition to actually choosing an alternative, usually includes constructing or activating decision alternatives. In this entry, taking a cross-cultural perspective on decision making, the focus is mainly on complex decision making.
