Abstract
This chapter first presents the conceptual framework of the decision-making phenomenon, which is apparently almost universal among decision-making studies and which explains how decision-making under certainty, risk, and uncertainty can be understood. Consequently, the way in which behavioral decision theory is positioned in the study of decision-making and how it is related to other theories of decision-making are explained.
