Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ability to make decisions plays a vital role in human behavior, as it allows us to consider options under conditions where there are no intrinsically correct choices to guide our selections, and all options present potential rewards and punishments. Under these common scenarios of uncertainty, both normal personality trait models and decision-making styles play a role in the final behavior chosen by individuals. In fact, the interplay between both kinds of constructs could be essential to providing us with a more fine-grained picture of the individual differences in the way people behave in many situations with an impact on people’s lives, such as economic decisions, addictive behaviors, vocational and career decisions, and many others. The present Special Issue aims to unravel the contributions from both kinds of constructs by analyzing the convergent and divergent validity of personality traits and decision-making styles, describing the common and different cognitive and biological basis of both concepts, and, especially, comparing the predictive and incremental validity of them in different settings.
