“…Different decision-making models have indicated that one of the factors that has the capacity to regulate risk perception is affect (Loewenstein et al, 2001;Bechara and Damasio, 2005;Pfister and Böhm, 2008;Mohr et al, 2010;Lempert and Phelps, 2013;Lerner et al, 2015;Parrott, 2017;Zaleskiewicz and Traczyk, 2020). Lerner et al (2015) even proposed that "emotions are, for better or worse, the dominant driver of most meaningful decisions in life" (p. 801).…”

Worry, Risk Perception, and Controllability Predict Intentions Toward COVID-19 Preventive Behaviors

The ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 has already had serious worldwide health, socioeconomic , political, and educational consequences. In the present study, we investigated what factors can motivate young adults to comply with the recommended preventive measures against coronavirus infection. Even though young people are less likely to suffer severe medical consequences from the virus, they can still transmit it to more vulnerable individuals. Surprisingly, we found no significant effects of previously successful experimental manipulations (e.g., enhancing self-efficacy, and visual aids) that aimed to improve risk understanding and impact COVID-19 related behavioral intentions. Instead, intentions toward preventive behaviors were predicted by self-reported worry, perceived controllability of the pandemic, and risk perception. Interestingly, worry about health, and worry about restricting personal freedom predicted behavioral intentions in diverging directions. In particular, participants who were worried about health, were more willing to obey strict hygiene and social distancing restrictions. In contrast, participants who were worried about personal restrictions, were less ready to adopt these preventive actions.

“…This is the valenced prediction people make for how they think they will feel in response to a future stimulus, be it a behavior, event, or situation [6][7][8]. These affective forecasts can elicit action tendencies to approach or avoid certain behaviors depending on whether they are framed as positive or negative, respectively [9]. Affective forecasts have been proposed to influence the decision to be active [10,11] and found to be associated with exercise intentions and behavior [12,13].…”

The extent to which people expect to feel pleasure during exercise is proposed to influence an individual’s decision to be active. In order to identify the factors that shape this affective forecast for exercise, this study explored what people think about when creating their affective forecast for exercise. Thirty-one inactive participants provided an affective forecast for a moderate intensity exercise session using the global affective forecast questionnaire. Immediately after, they were asked a series of questions to verbally explain what they were thinking about in order to generate their forecast. Thematic analysis identified four themes relating to the exercise intensity, the exercise outcomes, the exercise environment, and the enjoyment of exercise that influenced affective forecast creation. Exercise practitioners should design strategies to manipulate these factors, and structure exercise environments to support a positive affective forecast and better motivate exercise participation.

“…The current moment of the decision-making process seemed to be more important for DM than the future. Empirical research on human cognition in the field of psychology and neuroscience have revealed that decisions are mental processes involving both cognitive states such as beliefs and knowledge and affective states such as feelings and emotions 3 (Baddeley, 2010;Lempert and Phelps, 2014). In this study, the decision-making process has involved cognitive and affective states.…”

Analytical Hierarchy Process coupled with GIS for land management purposes: A decision-making application

This paper discusses the practical adaptation of a land-use planning methodology in Switzerland as a result of a combined usage of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and a multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method. The two approaches were integrated in order to help land managers to incorporate the impact of two land-use laws voted by citizens in 2012 and 2013 respectively. The direct democratic system in Switzerland allows citizens to participate actively in the decision-making processes in different fields of interest. In 2012 Swiss people voted in favor of limiting the construction of second homes, this initiative had as slogan "Ending the invasive construction of second homes". The purpose of the initiative is to protect citizens, heritage and the nature as well as the creation and maintenance of cities, habitats and liveable landscapes. According to the initiative, second homes cannot exceed 20 percent of the total community housing of a municipality. Currently this initiative is a federal law adopted by the national council and must be applied by all municipalities. Nevertheless, decision makers (DM) were not provided of an established methodology to determine and justify their choices before the citizens. Furthermore in 2013 Swiss citizens voted for another law on land-use which aims at limiting the size of the areas that will be built. According to this new rule building permit grants will be based on the foreseeable needs for the next fifteen years. In this context municipalities need to make decisions regarding two opposite objectives: How to respect environmental criteria while keeping in mind social-economic issues. Another important question arises: which are the most suitable areas that meet the new legal requirements? These most suitable areas will be freed up at the end of the process.
