Is our case strong enough to go to trial? Will interest rates go up?
Can I trust this person? Such questions - and the judgments required
to answer them - are woven into the fabric of everyday experience.
This book, first published in 2002, examines how people make such
judgments. The study of human judgment was transformed in the 1970s,
when Kahneman and Tversky introduced their 'heuristics and biases'
approach and challenged the dominance of strictly rational models.
Their work highlighted the reflexive mental operations used to make
complex problems manageable and illuminated how the same processes can
lead to both accurate and dangerously flawed judgments. The heuristics
and biases framework generated a torrent of influential research in
psychology - research that reverberated widely and affected
scholarship in economics, law, medicine, management, and political
science. This book compiles the most influential research in the
heuristics and biases tradition since the initial collection of 1982
(by Kahneman, Slovic, and Tversky).
