Decision Theory and Decision Behaviour

Normative decision theory addresses itself to the question of how people ought to make decisions in various types of situations, if they wish to be regarded (or to regard themselves) as 'rational'. Normative decision theory is much more formalized than descriptive theory.

Teoria deciziei normative se adreseaza intrebarii cu privire la modul in care oamenii ar trebui sa ia decizii in diferite tipuri de situatii, daca doresc sa fie considerati (sau sa se considere pe ei insisi) drept „rationali”. Teoria deciziei normative este mult mai formalizata decat teoria descriptiva.
