PSY 333 — Week 1, Class 1

Discussion Questions

In your breakout groups please discuss these questions and write a brief sentence or two on each point. Hand it in on D2L in the dropbox for Week_01_Discussion.

Note we’re not expecting perfect answers here, you should spend no more than 3-5 minutes on each question.

  1. Why are you here? What do you think you will gain by learning more about judgment and decision making?
  2. More generally, why might studying judgment and decision making be a good thing, for example for society or for individuals within society?
  3. Bonus question - can you think of ways in which the study of judgment and decision making could be bad for society?
