Chapter 5 : Decision Making Style

From what we have learnt on the class, there are four (4) types of decision making styles.

1.         Analytic

2.        Behavioral

3.        Conceptual

4.        Directive 

People tends to make different types of decision making styles to finalize their decision depends on the situation they are going through.

1. Analytical 

• A person analyse the situation, come out with all possible probabilities.
• Used logical reasoning.

2. Behavioral 

• A person make decision but their focus is on people around them.
• The have low input information.
• Works well with others.

3. Conceptual

• Have wide range of information - for long term decision.
• Choosy.

4. Directive

• Systematic.
• Do not works well with others.
• Have little information.

Based on 127 HOURS :
Kristi Moore and Megan McBride was lost in Blue John Canyon. Both Kristi and Megan was actually afraid of Aron Ralston because he is a stranger. After a while of thinking of their situation, they decided to accept the help offered by Aron as they are lost and have no idea where to go but to just trust the map. This is where CONCEPTUAL style of decision making was used.

In the same scene, Aron was seen used the BEHAVIORAL style of decision making by simply offered help to Kristi and Megan.

Chapter 4 : Emotion & Decision Making

Emotion and mood is two different things.

Emotion is intense feeling that are directed at someone/ something.

Mood is the feeling that tend to be less intense than emotion & often lack of contextual stimulus.

So, what is your emotion & mood today???

Chapter 3 : Personality & Decision Making

Personality is the way one carries oneself and different thing such as sense of humor, friendliness , and passion determine your personality.

Character is what a person is like inside and major component of our character include honesty, respect, responsible, courage and loyalty.

According to movie 127 hours, James Franco by Aron Ralston is love travel, adventure, variety and meeting new people, and he longs to experience all of life, this is which represent of his personality. 
For the character of Aron Ralston is care about his family and his future. After the incident, he start to inform his parent when he going to travel which is his responsible as a son to inform his parent.

Chapter 2 : Heuristic & Bias

Heuristic is basically when we make a decision in a shortcut way that will lead to wrong decision.

According to the film, as an example a scene from the movie 127 hours that explained heuristic is when Aron Ralston leaves his home for hiking at Utah’s Canyonlands National Park. He did not inform anyone about his trip there. He did not expect that things happened will put his life on the line because he thought it will be a short trip.

In this case, heuristic is demonstrated by Aron Ralston to make a decision by not informing anyone that ended up with him stucked in the situation.

Bias is the human tendecy to make systematic errors in jugment/ when making decisions based upon certain thinking, thoughts, or preconceived notions.

Illusion of control is one of the 7 types of bias and is well portrayed in the movie. Aron Ralston overestimated his ability to handle any situation that he will faced and took the decision not to inform anyone about his trip.
