因为所有年龄段的人都面临着影响他们生活质量的决定，决策能力在整个生命周期中都很重要。根据理性决策理论，一项关键的决策技能涉及停止失败承诺的能力，尽管无法收回的投资也被称为“沉没成本”。“我们发现，老年人比年轻人更善于做出决定，停止这种失败的承诺，尤其是在不可挽回的损失很大的情况下，以及应对相关的不可挽回的损失。”我们的结果是相关的干预措施，旨在促进更好的决策能力在整个生命周期。
Because people of all ages face decisions that affect their quality of life, decision-making competence is important across the life span. According to theories of rational decision making, one crucial decision skill involves the ability to discontinue failing commitments despite irrecoverable investments also referred to as ‘sunk costs.’ We find that older adults are better than younger adults at making decisions to discontinue such failing commitments especially when irrecoverable losses are large, as well as at coping with the associated irrecoverable losses. Our results are relevant to interventions that aim to promote better decision-making competence across the life span.
