About the Book

How do we make the judgments that inform our lives? Is there any way of consciously removing bias from the choices we make? What do our everyday personal decisions have in common with those made by groups, companies, and even nations? Nancy Kim presents a multidisciplinary introduction to the dynamic field of judgment and decision-making. This textbook delivers insights from cognitive psychology, combined with findings from neuropsychology, behavioural economics, social psychology, developmental psychology, clinical psychology, and philosophy - to give a cohesive overview of the factors that contribute to how we make judgments and decisions. Kim explains the neurological structures and cognitive processes that underlie how we make decisions and form judgments in our everyday lives. She also explores the implications of these decisions upon an individual's prospects for health and longevity. This new edition: - Incorporates the latest research on central issues in judgement and decision-making - Includes more coverage of cognitive neuroscience, integrated throughout - Includes a new chapter on emotional, social and group decision-making - Comes with accompanying online resources, including a test bank and additional exercises to further support teaching and learning. This is an essential companion for students studying judgment and decision-making as part of psychology, cognitive neuroscience, business or economics courses.

Review :
There is simply no better introductory book on this topic. It is comprehensive, easy to understand, and chapters need not be read sequentially. Nancy Kim's stellar textbook on judgment and decision making is the best resource I have found for my entry-level course for decision science and behavioral economics majors. This book is approachable, explains concepts well, and covers the key contributions of the field comprehensively. An essential core textbook on judgment and decision-making, sapiently merging theory, scientific evidence and real-world applications in different fields to provide a well-rounded understanding of the discipline. An invaluable resource for students and researchers alike. Kim skilfully unpacks key theories and findings in judgment and decision-making, bridging laboratory insights with real-world applications. Warning: This book may cause cognitive dissonance. Kim's masterful exploration of judgment and decision-making reveals the startling truth about how our minds work. You may never look at a menu, a price tag, or a ballot the same way again. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding how we make decisions. Its blend of theoretical insights and practical examples makes it a useful text for both academic study and real-world application. Whether you are a student, a professional, or simply curious about the intricacies of human decision-making, this book offers a thorough and engaging exploration of the subject.
