Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best way to make an
important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual
decisions made by people to theretical 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 cam 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 all possible solutions to the
problem Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected 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 several 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 generally comprehend and remember On the average, people can keep about seven ideas
number of variables with complex relationships A realistic example for many college students is the question "What will I do after graduation?" A graduate might seek a position that offers
specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help
to narrow it It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones
Focusing 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?"
Question 20 According to decision-worksheet theory, an optimal decision is defined as one that _
A has the fewest variables to consider
B uses the most decision worksheet
C has the most points assigned to it
D is agreed to by the greatest number of people
Question 21 Which of the following terms is defined in the passage?
A Proponents (para 1)
B Optimal (para 1)
