Regret in Decision Making under Uncertainty
TL;DR: By explicitly incorporating regret, expected utility theory not only becomes a better descriptive predictor but also may become a more convincing guide for prescribing behavior to decision makers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disappointment in Decision Making Under Uncertainty
TL;DR: The implications of disappointment, a psychological reaction caused by comparing the actual outcome of a lottery to one's prior expectations, for decision making under uncertainty, are explored and explicit recognition that decision makers may be paying a premium to avoid potential disappointment is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Book ChapterDOI
Decision Making: DESCRIPTIVE, NORMATIVE, AND PRESCRIPTIVE INTERACTIONS IN DECISION MAKING
TL;DR: In this article, the focus of our attention is the individual decision maker facing a choice involving uncertainty about outcomes, and we will consider how people do make decisions, how rational people should make decisions and how we might help less rational people, who nevertheless aspire to rationality, to do better.
