BOOK DISCOVERY
Decision making
First published 1977
Decision making by Irving Lester Janis was published in 1977 and is classified under commitment, stress, conflict, and psychological aspects of decision making. The metadata places decisions within an emotional and interpersonal field rather than treating them as purely analytical acts. The title is broad, but the documented subjects support attention to how commitment, stress, and conflict may shape choice. This introduction therefore situates the book in psychological decision research without assigning it a particular model, case, or conclusion.
