Unsicherheit

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Die Psychologie der Entscheidung

Zusammenfassung

Entscheidungen finden oft „unter Unsicherheit“ statt. Im Allgemeinen ist damit gemeint, dass für den Entscheider die möglichen Konsequenzen der Optionen unsicher sind, weil die Konsequenzen auch von anderen, durch ihn nicht kontrollierbaren Ereignissen abhängig sind. Wie Menschen mit dieser Unsicherheit umgehen, wie sie ihre „subjektiven Wahrscheinlichkeiten“ bilden, verändern, direkt zum Ausdruck bringen oder in ihrem Verhalten zeigen, ist ein zentrales Thema der Entscheidungsforschung. Damit werden wir uns in diesem Kapitel beschäftigen.
