Project description

In their parameter model, Kuglanski and colleagues (2007) have identified which parameters are most relevant for decision-making. The present research proposal wants to extend this model by delineating the exact mechanisms of how these parameters operate and shpae decision-making. To reach this objective we apply the principles of the integrative analysis framework by Wright and Kirby (2001) to information processing.
