Have you ever wondered how or why you make the choices you do? In Psychology of Decision Making, you'll explore the hidden psychological processes that lead you to make good decisions, and those that can lead you astray. For example, when you try to decide whether someone is trustworthy, do you focus on the right information? How are your emotions affecting the decision? Are you deciding based on what is true, or based on what you want to be true? How much are other people biasing your decision? By the end of the course, you'll understand how these factors influence your decisions and how you can best anticipate and correct for the errors you're likely to make.
