How do we make decisions
under uncertainty?

 

 

Most decisions—from personal investment to corporate mergers, from whether to have

an operation to whether to settle a court case—must be made without knowing in advance how they will turn out. As the principal investigator at the Fox Uncertainty Lab, along with my research group, I examine how people make judgments and decisions under conditions of risk and uncertainty. We explore these issues at the individual, market, and organizational levels. We rely on a combination of empirical methods, including surveys, laboratory and field experiments, analysis of market and archival data, physiological measurement and brain imaging techniques.

"Do you worry too much about unlikely events?"
A Q&A with Professor Craig Fox

"It certainly is very human to be afraid if you're told that there's a low probability of some horrible thing happening to you. But also, in terms of the decisions you make, try to discipline yourself to go by the odds a little bit more, to calculate the expected values a little bit more, at least for the decisions we make in daily life. Learn to stop worrying and embrace uncertainty."
