Models of Choice Behavior

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Recent Research in Psychology ((PSYCHOLOGY))

Abstract

Numerous models have been proposed to examine the relationships among beliefs, attitudes, and behavior. These models, which are called decision making or choice models, focus on behaviors that are under the volitional control of the individual; that is, behaviors that are determined by individuals’ conscious beliefs and attitudes and not determined by habitual (or unconscious) processes. All these models incorporate constructs that allow for individual and social influences; however, the manner in which these constructs are defined and measured varies.
