The general research agenda of the Research Unit is embedded in the area of experimental psychology and social psychology. The participating individual research projects are addressing different, yet connected research questions that all focus on human decision making. Some examples for the investigated questions: Which situational aspects determine whether individuals engage in more intuitive or in more elaborative strategies of decision making? Which factors influence whether individuals decisions are guided by a short-term versus a long-term perspective? When do individuals rely on simple decision rules and heuristics and when do they search for more information? Which relation can be observed between the quality of a decision and the amount of information that is considered - and more specifically, can decisions that are based on a small number of information be better than decisions based on a large amount of information? The general assumption that underlies the investigation of these questions holds that human decision making is usually very well adapted towards the requirements of the respective situation. From such a perspective, different decisions, that result from variations of situational context in which the decision is embedded, do not reflect errors but the adjustment to the situational requirements. It is expected, that the research will contribute basic knowledge on human decision making. Moreover, the participating projects will investigate, which implications can be derived from the context-dependent decision making with respect to different fields of application.

研究单位的总体研究议程属于实验心理学和社会心理学领域。参与的各个研究项目正在解决不同但相互关联的研究问题，这些问题都集中在人类决策上。所调查问题的一些例子：哪些情境因素决定个人是否采用更直观的决策策略或更细致的决策策略？哪些因素会影响个人决策是受短期还是长期的影响？个人何时依赖简单的决策规则和启发法以及何时搜索更多信息？决策的质量和所考虑的信息量之间可以观察到哪种关系 - 更具体地说，基于少量信息的决策是否会比基于大量信息的决策更好？研究这些问题的一般假设是，人类的决策通常非常适合各自情况的要求。从这个角度来看，由于决策所嵌入的情境背景的变化而产生的不同决策并不反映错误，而是反映对情境要求的调整。预计该研究将贡献人类决策的基础知识。此外，参与项目将调查不同应用领域的上下文相关决策可以得出哪些影响。
