This award provides funds for the establishment of a Research Training Group in the Role of Cognition in Collective Political Decision Making. The faculty group is a mixture of Political Scientists and Psychologists at Ohio State University and at a number of other institutions throughout the country who will form an "Invisible College" for the purpose of this training effort. The centerpiece of the RTG will be an annual workshop to be held each summer for 6 weeks at Ohio State University. The workshop will explore the role of cognition and politics in the definition and development of solutions to societal problems. The funds will provide stipends for graduate students and postdoctoral trainees, will defray part of the cost of the trainees' research, and to defray the costs of participation in the summer workshops by investigators from other research and academic institutions. Institutional commitments will pay student tuition at Ohio State, allow the faculty to devote time to organization of the summer workshop, will defray a portion of the cost of the workshop and will insure continuation of some trainee positions after the termination of NSF support. Although many political decisions are made by groups, psychologists trying to understand the decision-making process have traditionally focussed on the definition of problems and solutions by individuals, while political scientists have focussed on the role of power and control rather than that of cognition. This training group will explore this relatively neglected interface between these two approaches. Examples of relevant research being pursued by the Ohio State faculty include investigation of the role of creativity in foreign policy decision making, of adjustments of outcome expectation in decision making, and of how individual agendas become group agendas in the decision making by community health boards. Additional research topics and expertise will come from the outside membership of the summer workshop faculty.

该奖项为建立一个研究机构提供资金。 培训小组在集体政治中的作用认知 决策。 教师群体是政治的混合体， 俄亥俄州州立大学的科学家和心理学家们， 全国其他机构的数量， 一个“无形学院”，用于这项培训工作的目的。 RTG的核心将是每年举行一次研讨会 每年夏天在俄亥俄州州立大学学习6周。 讲习班 将探讨认知和政治在定义中的作用 并制定解决社会问题的办法。 资金 将为研究生和博士后提供奖学金 学员，将支付学员研究的部分费用， 并支付参加夏季讲习班的费用 来自其他研究和学术机构的研究人员。 机构承诺将支付学生学费在俄亥俄州， 允许教师们花时间组织暑期活动 讲习班，将支付讲习班的一部分费用， 将确保一些实习生职位的延续后， 终止NSF支持。 尽管许多政治决策是由群体做出的， 心理学家们试图理解决策过程 传统上集中于问题的定义， 个人的解决方案，而政治科学家有 注重权力和控制的作用，而不是 认知. 本次培训组将对此进行探讨， 这两种方法之间的接口被忽略了。 的实例 俄亥俄州教师正在进行的相关研究包括 研究创造力在外交政策中的作用 结果预期的调整， 决策，以及个人议程如何成为群体 社区卫生委员会决策中的议程。 其他研究课题和专业知识将来自 暑期工作坊教员的外部成员。
