HSD-DRU: The Role of Communication in the Dynamics of Effective Decision Making

群体决策是复杂人类组织中的一种重要社会行为。 虽然决策是在个人层面上做出的，但这些个人决策可以对整个团队产生深远的累积影响。 然而，如果没有适当的沟通，大型组织或社会中的个人往往很难理解他们的决定将如何影响他人，从而难以做出有效的决定。 为了更好地了解沟通在决策过程中的独特而复杂的作用，一个多学科的科学家团队将开展一系列有针对性的实验来实现这些目标。 实验将解决信息获取和人际沟通模式。 该项目的目标不仅是确定个人决策者群体如何使用沟通来做出更好的决策，而且要了解如何应用这些知识来创建工具，通过促进最佳类型的沟通来改善人类决策。

Group decision making is a key social behavior in most complex human organizations. While decisions are made on an individual level, these individual decisions can have profound cumulative impact on the group as a whole. However, without proper communication, it is often difficult for individuals in large organizations or societies to appreciate how their decisions will impact others and, therefore, for them to make effective decisions. To better understand the unique and complex role communication has in the dynamics of the decision-making process, a multidisciplinary team of scientists will carry out a diverse series of targeted experiments to achieve these goals. The experiments will address information acquisition and interpersonal communication patterns. The goal of the project is not only to identify how groups of individual decision makers use communication to arrive at better decisions, but to understand how to apply this knowledge to create tools that improve human decision making by fostering the best types of communication.
