“…The process of making a decision, however, is often stressful Janis and Mann 1977;Salo and Allwood 2011). The processes that individuals follow in making decisions often tend to differ from person to person (Galotti et al 2006;Riaz et al 2012;Williams and Esmail 2014). These processes or approaches are categorized as decision making styles (Janis and Mann 1977;Scott and Bruce 1995;Leykin and DeRubeis 2010).…”

“…However, as Piaget (1972Piaget ( , 2006 suggests, decision making forms part of a developmental process, that really takes effect in its implementation during adolescence. Decision making during adolescence is important, as it assists with the many challenges that are common to this developmental phase (Galotti et al 2006). There is the assumption that independent decision making styles develop during adolescence, but Ö zȕtrk et al (2011) believe that they start during pre-adolescence, consequential to the familial environment.…”

“…The decision making style often is thought of as how individuals make sense of the information that is available for the alternatives as part of the decision making process (Albert and Steinberg 2011). The decision making style that individuals engage in before selecting an alternative operate on a continuum from adaptive to maladaptive decision making styles, when considering the plethora of decision making styles proposed by theorists and researchers (Galotti et al 2006). When considering decision making styles of children and adolescents, parents are considered to play an important role (Udell et al 2008).…”

“…Decision making styles are important, particularly as adolescence is synonymous with behavioral decisions that are often thought to be detrimental to pro-social development (Monahan et al 2013). In providing an understanding of the processes that adolescents engage in as part of decision making styles, the review addresses some of the concerns highlighted by Galotti et al (2006) who have questioned the role that decision making styles play in the information-gathering process, which is examined in this review. The review provides a glimpse of the plethora of decision making styles that exist in the literature that often overlap one another; however, for the first time, the current review provides clear categories of different decision making styles.…”

Decision Making Styles: A Systematic Review of Their Associations with Parenting

Decision making is a task that individuals face on a daily basis. The process of making a decision differs from one person to another. The processes involved in making a decision are defined as decision making styles, which can be either adaptive or maladaptive. Children and adolescents' decision making, however, often is thought to be associated with parenting. This review examines and describes previous studies examining the associations between decision making styles and parenting approaches. It suggests that maladaptive decision making styles are the most prevalent, and that they often are associated with detrimental outcomes for children and adolescents' development. Maladaptive decision making styles also are associated with negative parenting approaches. The review reveals that western and non-western societies play an important role in shaping these associations; however, it also finds that age and gender do not play a significant role. The review highlights gaps in literature focusing on decision making and parenting, and the continents where little research has examined the associations presented. The review adds to current debates and knowledge on youth development by providing an understanding of decision making styles from an international perspective as well as from the important role that parents play.

According to the theories, vocation choice is considered in a more common context, as a guidance system in numerous vocational alternatives and final decision making 8 . The fourth trend involves development theories mainly related to the educational process, which predetermines its synthetic nature.…”

Meta‐analytic Investigations of the Relation Between Intuition and Analysis

Over 50 years of research on cognitive style has converged on the importance of individual differences in use of intuition and analysis. This program of research is characterized, however, by two incompatible perspectives about the relation between intuition and analysis. The distinction concerns whether intuition and analysis are opposite poles of a single dimension or whether they are orthogonal constructs. Two studies report meta‐analytic investigations of the relation between intuition and analysis. A meta‐analysis of the existing research base (k = 80; n = 27 501) showed that intuition and analysis are uncorrelated. A second meta‐analysis of combinations of subscales from different cognitive style measures (n = 511) supported the results of the first meta‐analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis also supported the existence of two uncorrelated constructs. Overall, the findings support the view that intuition and analysis are independent constructs, rather than opposite ends of a bipolar continuum. In addition, the findings suggest measures of analysis or rationality are not interchangeable. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
