Exercise 4 Read the passage then choose the best answer to fill each numbered blank
Reseachers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions
to see how similar they are Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the
best decisions Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take, they are all
similar in their essential aspects
Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affectesd by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined.Each consideration is assigned a numerical value
to reflect its relative importance A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision
Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are serveral alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that
it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can gerenerally comprehend and remember On the
average, people can keep about seven ideas in minds at once A worksheet can be especially useful when the
decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships A realitic example for many college students is the question” What will Ido after graduation?” A graduate might seek a position that offer specialized training, pursue an advance degree, or travel abroad for a year
A decision making worksheet brgins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it It
is important to be clear about the disctinction between long- range and immediate goals because long -range goals
often involve a different decision from a short- range ones Forcusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to “ What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?”
