This edited book is an excellent resource for those who wish to probe deeper into the state of the art research on emerging issues in judgment and decision making. The editors’ stated purpose is to provide “fresh perspectives on decision making”. The authors are particularly interested in how non-traditional topics such as memory, emotion, and context impact judgment and choice. The book is organized around five themes: 1) fortifying traditional models of decision making by looking at traditional topics in new ways; 2) elaborating on cognitive processes in decision making by exploring the interplay between decision research and cognitive psychology; 3) integrating affect (feelings) and motivation in decision making by relating how affect and motivation interact with decision making; 4) understanding social and cultural influences on decision making by recognizing the importance of social and cultural contexts for decisions; and 5) facing the challenge of real-world complexity in decision research through seeing the challenges and rewards of research outside the laboratory. The 20 articles included in this volume are written by some of the most creative decision researchers in the world and cover a wide variety of themes. Examples include “hard decisions, bad decisions”; “memory and decision making”; “what do people really want”; the social cultural contexts of decision making in organizations; command style and team performance; the naturalistic decision making process, and how to tell if someone is an expert. The volume ends with a commentary on optimists, pessimists and realists, and how each of them might view the world of decision making and judgment.
