The PI proposes to investigate the role of ambiguity in multi-attribute decision making. Although most prior research has found ambiguity aversion in decision making, this PI has found ambiguity seeking using medical decision making scenarios. This research program will attempt to discover whether the ambiguity seeking behavior will generalize to non-medical situations. Ambiguity will be created in various ways in the scenarios, the scenarios will differ in their number of attributes, the salience of the ambiguity will be varied, and the information processing load on the subjects will be manipulated. In addition, the PI will investigate the location of the status quo and the influence of decision goals with regard to the subjects' reaction to ambiguity.

PI 建议研究模糊性在多属性决策中的作用。 尽管大多数先前的研究都发现决策中存在歧义厌恶，但本 PI 发现使用医疗决策场景来寻求歧义。 该研究计划将试图发现寻求歧义的行为是否会推广到非医疗情况。 情景中会以各种方式产生歧义，情景的属性数量会有所不同，歧义的显着性会有所不同，并且主体的信息处理负荷会受到操纵。 此外，PI将调查现状的位置以及决策目标对受试者对模糊性的反应的影响。
