ABSTRACT
METHOD OVERVIEW There were three experiments, all with similar designs. Participants were asked to read descriptions of decision problems (cases) and choose strategies appropriate to them. The strategies were more or less analytic and the problems represented eight experimental conditions. The problems were either significant or insignificant, the answers were either reversible or irreversible and the decision maker was either personally accountable or not accountable. All three experiments employed this 2×2×2 design.
