Decision-making is a ________ process.

  • A.Cognitive
  • B.Superficial
  • C.Random
  • D.None of the above

Answer: A

Decision-making is a cognitive process.

Making a decision involves mental activities: identifying the problem, gathering and evaluating information, considering alternatives, judging their consequences and choosing one. These are cognitive processes of thinking and reasoning, which is why decision-making is classed with problem solving and judgement in psychology.

A sound decision is not superficial or random, since both describe choices made without proper thought. Because 'cognitive' clearly applies, 'None of the above' is wrong.
