Hello, Class
Since we were born, we have been faced with decisions every day. These decisions are based on our motivations and emotions. We often solve our decisions via trial and error (Myers & DeWall, 2019). We also may use algorithms and heuristics to enhance our ability to solve various scenarios (Myers & DeWall, 2019). An algorithm is a step-by-step guide with a solidified solution, while a heuristic simplifies a way of thinking (Myers & DeWall, 2019). Often we can hinder our way of thinking by being stuck in a mental set or a way to approach an issue in the same manner as what worked before (Myers & DeWall, 2019). Regardless of what method we take in our decision-making process, the four steps still get used.
Personal Narrative
Until a few months ago, I always had intentions of going to school in North Carolina and residing there for the time to come. I had a six-figure job and plenty of support systems, so leaving was not even a thought in my mind. One day I woke up and decided to take school seriously as I lost sight of what I wanted to do by working so much. I have always wanted to be a nurse, and that opportunity was slipping away as I sunk more and more of my time into work. When I woke up and decided I wanted to take school seriously, I was presented with essentially two options. Stay in North Carolina and continue with my current lifestyle and stable job or leave everything I know, so no distractions and focus on school. Both of these options had many pros and cons that came along with them. If I stay in North Carolina, the pros would be that I had a well-paying job doing something that I enjoy doing, plenty of friends and family, and a familiar setting that I am used to.
On the contrary, the cons would be taking a massive pay cut, moving to a place where I have never been, and being there without anyone I know and no support systems.
Conclusion
After reading this week’s chapter, we now see that decision-making does not end after a decision has been made, nor does it have to be made with a lack of emotion (Myers & DeWall, 2019). I did not have an overconfidence attitude in this situation. If anything, I was the opposite. Being able to engage my feelings and intellect, I made a decision and responded to the cons of that decision accordingly.
Question
Why do we often get lost in the decision-making process when listing pros and cons? Why is it easier to make a decision based on cons?
