Information processing style and decision making

Article Abstract:

Differences in the level of analysis employed by researchers account for the discrepancy of cognitive style measures among conventional information processing approaches, such as the Group-Embedded Measures Test, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and Learning Styles Inventory. Basically, approaches make use of three level surface styles, including cognitive, decision-making and behavior, which describe the overall information process. Although conventional approaches overlap in terms of conceptual context, they do not follow a simple linear continua, thereby defying the existence of interrelationships among them.
