Attitudes and Decisions

J. Van Der Pligt; J. Richard Eiser

Synopsis:
The authors explore how attitudes and motives are crucial in human decision-making, and investigate the relationship between them. They look closely at the real context of people's attitudes and behavior, pointing out that attitudes are both a social product and an intrinsic part of social action. Attitudes and Decisions also examines how theories of judgement, attitudes, attribution, and decision-making can make important contributions to social issues such as the employment of nuclear energy, the storage of nuclear waste, health behavior, and medical decision-making.
