Abstract

Abstract: Across three studies and three different samples, we investigated whether decision-making styles exhibit incremental validity in predicting various real-life outcomes over and above cognitive abilities and personality traits. In Study 1, we showed that decision-making styles (especially avoidant and spontaneous ones) but not cognitive abilities predict important real-life and academic outcomes in a sample of undergraduate students. In Study 2, on a sample of employed adults, we showed that although the effects of decision-making styles decreased once the effects of personality traits were taken into account, styles nevertheless remained important for several important work-related outcomes. Finally, in Study 3, on a sample of entrepreneurs, decision-making styles generally exhibited stronger correlations with indices of entrepreneurial success and employee work-related attitudes than the need for achievement, a motivational trait that was meta-analytically shown to be one of the essential traits for entrepreneurial success. In sum, we hope that our research program fills the gap in research on individual differences in decision-making, offering evidence that decision-making styles matter for various important real-life outcomes.

决策风格在预测现实生活和工作相关结果中的增量有效性

摘要:通过三项研究和三个不同的样本，我们研究了决策风格在预测各种现实生活结果方面是否具有超越认知能力和人格特质的增量效度。在研究1中，我们展示了决策风格(尤其是逃避型和自发型)而不是认知能力预测了本科生样本中重要的现实生活和学业成绩。在研究2中，我们以有工作的成年人为样本，表明尽管一旦考虑到人格特质的影响，决策风格的影响就会下降，但风格对几个重要的工作相关结果仍然很重要。最后，在研究3中，在一个企业家样本中，决策风格通常与创业成功和员工工作态度的指标表现出更强的相关性，而不是对成就的需求，这是一种动机特征，经元分析显示是创业成功的基本特征之一。总之，我们希望我们的研究项目填补了决策个体差异研究的空白，为决策风格对各种重要的现实生活结果的影响提供证据。

期刊介绍： Researchers, teachers, and students interested in all areas of individual differences (e.g., gender, temperament, personality, intelligence) and their assessment in human and animal research will find the Journal of Individual Differences useful. The Journal of Individual Differences publishes manuscripts dealing with individual differences in behavior, emotion, cognition, and their developmental aspects. This includes human as well as animal research. The Journal of Individual Differences is conceptualized to bring together researchers working in different areas ranging from, for example, molecular genetics to theories of complex behavior.
