The effect of outcome information on the evaluation and recall of individuals' own decisions

Article Abstract:

The outcome information significantly affects the individuals' evaluations of their own decision-making process. Those persons who obtained positive outcome information consider their decision-making processes as better compared to individuals given with negative outcome information. In terms of recall of their own decisions, individuals' memory appeared to be influenced by the difficulty of the decision and the degree of uncertainty they faced. Outcome information may significantly affect recall of the subjective aspects of decision making processes but have lesser effect on the objective aspects.

People have two modes of representations of their environment and themselves. Noetic representation is a conceptual mode and corresponds to knowledge while experiential representation is the perceptual mode and corresponds to feeling.
