Biases in Group Decisions

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Decision biases can be interpreted as tendencies to think and act in specific ways that result in a systematic deviation of potentially rational and high-quality decisions. In this chapter, we provide an overview of example decision biases and show possibilities to counteract these. The overview includes (1) biases that exist in both single user and group decision making (decoy effects, serial position effects, framing, and anchoring) and (2) biases that especially occur in the context of group decision making (GroupThink, polarization, and emotional contagion).
