In defense of the not-so-old-time religion
Article Abstract:
A new approach to decision theory has the rationality theory as its central point and sharply distinguishes between normative and descriptive. This new version of decision theory compares what people do with what they might like to do ideally. It does not explain behavior using only the premises that people are rational, approximately rational or intendedly rational, but uses several ideas to explain deviations from rationality. Visceral factors can be incorporated to the current behavioral decision making agenda within the general normative-descriptive framework and experimental paradigm.
